Read-only

Instructions
Get the official equivalent of an administrative term in another national language.
Returns the preferred designation (sequence 1) plus accepted variants, per matching entry. Use this for authority names, department titles and titles of legal acts.
Matches only against designation fields, so a term merely mentioned in a
definition is never reported as an equivalent. term accepts Lucene wildcards;
on an empty result retry with term* before concluding there is no equivalent.
