Damn hamsters ate my OP again!
Well, anyway…I’ve begun volunteering for a Jewish geneaology site, which has begun receiving e-mail inquiries from people aroiund the world who need technical assistance. My job is to translate inquiries from Spanish to English, and the responses back into Spanish. It’s going to be fun: with any luck, we will help bring together long-lost family members!
The problem: although my Spanish is fluent, my technical vocabulary sucks, since I rarely have any exposure to it. As amateur geneaologists are disproportionately retired people who have lots of spare time, but sometimes not much computer savvy, many of the questions will be about basic computer concepts and such. So as not to confuse anyone or make a fool of myself, I need some reference sources. As technical dictionaries are both hideously expensive and tend to be obsolete by the time they are published, can anyone recommend a good online Spanish-Engllish technical dictionary? It doesn’t have to have every obscure term in the world, but it would be nice if it included lots of idioms and contextual information.
Thanks in advance! It’s for a good cause.
