I don't remember how I got to know of the existence of this dictionary, some two or three years ago. It's beyond me how this can be the work of a single person. So, I'll just go ahead and say it: anyone engaged in translation should --must-- buy it. It's shockingly easy to use, and if you get it and already have F. Beigbeder Atienza's Polytechnica Dictionary of Spanish and English Languages (second edition) and Javier L. Collazo's English-Spanish, Spanish-English Encyclopedic Dictionary of Technical Terms, you're all set. Just bear in mind one very simple fact: there is no perfect dictionary (but the three mentioned here pretty much come near being). Buy it. You won't regret it.

The program does not attempt to replicate a hard-copy dictionary, with explanations for the differing synonyms -- you have to know or have another source for these differences. However, this results in a very simple presentation of a lot of material; as far as I have tried it, it seems very reliable. However, a couple of simple modifications to the program would make it more user-friendly. On first entering the program, the search window is highlighted,so that you can write your word; however, after the first search, if one wants to enter a new target word, the window is not highlighted, so you have to delete letter by letter. Alternatively, if one wants to find out more about the translations presented, one cannot go to that window to click on that and be taken to a selected word.

That?s about it. I don?t know what technical dictionary doesn?t contain the terms "FMEA" or "preventative measures". The author(s) have not inluded a lot of technical terms that they must have considered superfluous, that would have been useful. Contexts are also rarely given. Much improvement to be made here.
