An Idea: An International Directory of Technical Terms
Subject:An Idea: An International Directory of Technical Terms From:George Mena <George -dot- Mena -at- ESSTECH -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 29 Sep 1998 16:53:02 -0700
The "technical writer" in other languages thread gave me the following
idea:
Aren't we really better served compiling an international directory of
technical terms?
Such a document compiled by us listmembers might be a way for all of us
to help solve our translation problems.
I'm willing to help compile such a list in my spare time. Anyone else?
