本文件规定了以拉丁字母表示的多语言术语和词典数据（术语、术语元素或单词）的字母顺序中使用的字符序列。只要记录了术语或词典数据，就考虑了以拉丁字母表示的语言的字符集。还考虑了国际标准化拉丁字母音译中使用的字符集。 给定的字母顺序仅用于多语言目的，不影响任何特定语言的字母顺序。 本文件的主要部分规定了字符串的字母顺序。附件A处理逐字排序，这是该系统广泛使用的替代方案。 附件B给出了两个额外的规则，可用于词典和术语排序。 附件C给出了化学名称的排序规则。 附件D列出了拉丁字母的字符表。 附件E列出了使用拉丁字母的语言。 附件F给出了使用拉丁字母的多种语言的字母序列，该序列源自本文件中规定的序列。 附件G给出了本文件主要部分中规定的符合ISO/IEC的规则的正式描述14651

This document specifies the sequence of characters to be used in the alphabetical ordering of multilingual terminological and lexicographical data (terms, term elements, or words) represented in the Latin alphabet. Character sets of languages represented in the Latin alphabet are taken into account insofar as terminological or lexicographical data have been recorded. Character sets used in internationally standardized transliteration into Latin script are also taken into account. The sequence of alphabetical characters given is intended for multilingual purposes only and is not intended to affect the alphabetical order of any specific language. The main part of this document specifies letter-by-letter ordering of character strings. Annex？A treats word-by-word ordering, which is a widely used alternative to this system. Annex？B gives two additional rules that can be useful for lexicographical and terminological ordering. Annex？C gives ordering rules for chemical names. Annex？D lists the character repertoire of the Latin alphabet. Annex？E lists languages using the Latin alphabet. Annex？F gives alphabetical sequences derived from the sequence specified in this document for a number of languages that use the Latin alphabet. Annex？G gives a formal description of the rules laid down in the main part of this document conforming with ISO/IEC？14651.
