Mar 19, 2009	Nikki Graham	I don't use this much. It is too small to cover all the fields properly, and I get the impression that many of the terms are inaccurate. There is no indication of which specific technical sector the translation refers to.	1
Mar 20, 2009	Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT	I use this dictionary as the last resource. I spotted several errors and my end customers also disagreed with some terms, so it started to go lower in my list of references. If you use this dictionary, I recommend to double-check with other sources.	2
Mar 23, 2009	Rod Brookes	I have given this dictionary many opportunities but so far it has proved more or less completely useless. It could be that it is worse from the perspective of a Spanish>English translator like myself, because although it is presented as a bilingual dictionary, there is a big imbalance between the English>Spanish sections (545 pages) and the Spanish>English (371 pages). And the glossary of acronyms and abbreviations at the back only translates English acronyms/abbreviations to the Spanish, not the other way around.	1
