I n spite of some advice to the contrary I still b c l i r ~ cth:rt defi~iitiorisare out
of place in a two-language technical dictionary. The user wlio turns to slip-

add greatly to the book's bulk. M y practice has been to defiiie x: tern1 only in
default of a satisfactory equiv:tlent or occas&onally to avoitl :triil)iguity.
Obviously there are many words here, both Spaliisli ant1 E~iglisli,that have

the accepted engineering terminology of Spanish Ameri
Terms taken from official publications, from engi~ieers'spe
textbooks are "accepted" terms. For nlany thousnntls
terms there are no "good Spanish" equivalents, if the Roy

125,000 entries in the Academy dictionary and 500,000 in 1
Spanish equivalents of English trade names are a prq
statement that proprietary names cannot be tmnslatctl cioe~
tion because they are regularly being translated in Spariihl
Many such terms have already appeared in other tlictior
Spanish and English-Spanish. There are owners of E;ngli!

My rule has been to include every term of this kind that. I

English that have become so well known that, nit11 Webs
are regularly written without the capital letter. For most
