Apr 3, 2009	Ivette Camargo López	Although this technical dictionary was compiled by (I believe) a Mexican engineer (who collaborated - unfortunately he passed away - on a number of technical books/dictionaries, see http://en.scientificcommons.org/rafael_garc%C3%ADa_d%C3%ADaz ), I find this dictionary very useful in general as a first source of reference for technical translations in general, as it usually includes terms in both main versions of Spanish (for Latin America and Spain). I have the 2nd edition of 2002, but I believe there is already a more recent edition from 2005. The only thing I find a bit "unfinished" is that, because it covers many technical areas, maybe it is not thorough enough in specific areas.	4
