There is a technical CD series done for Isvor/Fiat, in Italian and
English, for training FIAT CAD engineers. It combines realtime video
with a tutorial and quiz, which is technical (mathematics, CAD
workstation specifics) and concentrates on explaining technical english.
It is not a lexicon, but part of an inhouse training course.
It was done on contract work for Isvor/Fiat (Fiat's training company). I
translated the Italian to US English in December 1989, and described it
in a paper I wrote for the Education Training Technology Event, the
Hague, Netherlands (October 1990).

On Simionato's query about technical terminology databases:
You might contact Euroterm through the Dutch State School of Translation
in Maastricht. They have a large-scale multilingual, automatic
translation support system for business and technical translation.

Subject: Czech CALL
Any HUMANISTS who would like any information about Czech CALL are
welcome to contact me directly. As far as I could ascertain, thee are
no commercially distributed products in North America. However, there
are a number of interested academic software clearinghouses if you have
any. There are fewer people out there producing Czech CALL than you
have fingers.
