 Too big! November 10, 1999
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
It's got any term you need in computer and electrical engineering, but it also has an extra 50,000 terms! It is very accurate, and can save the day frequently, but there should also be an abbreviated version for those who only need the main terminology.
 USELESS DICTIONARY July 23, 1999
8 out of 14 found this review helpful
I do not know how useful this dictionary may be for a computer engineer, but it is certainly useless for a technical translator especializing in software manuals and software localization. The editor obviously has a feeble grasp of terminology concepts and of computers themselves, so the entries are not really terms, but words picked up somewhere, god knows where. I know, the problem is there are no (good) spanish-english software dictionaries out there!
Delivers what is promised. December 24, 2001

It delivers exactly what it says, electrical and computer engineering terms. Its approach is straightforward, but rather technical. Most any imaginable term in these fields is here, but there is not a sufficient emphasis on the elementary terms in computers. However, most of the omitted terms are of such a general nature that these can be easily found elsewhere. This dictionary is for those whose do serious research or translations. There are other dictionaries for the more general terminology.
English-Spanish, Spanish-English Electrical and Computer Eng July 10, 2001
A good resource although it does lack acronyms.
 This is a list of words with a translation January 15, 2007
If your looking for a book with just a simple translation this is it. For example, "boolean" is provided with a dozen different types (e.g. boolean algebra). "Boot" is given 2 possibilites "manguito aislador" and "cubierta aislante"; when to one or the other? and are these related to "boot your computer"?
No definitions or pronounciations anywhere in this EE word translator; definitely not a dictionary (i.e. no definitions).
It does have many 2 or more word translation; "tuned line" phrase provided: "linea sintonizada". Can't find that in any English to Spanish Dictionary but what does it mean and how to pronounce it is not provided.
