I am a technical translator specializing in information technology and for
my money the best dictionary on the market in this area is the one
originating from the Siemens stable:
W=F6rterbuch der Daten- und Kommunikationstechnik
- Data Systems and Communications Dictionary,
Karl-Heinz Brinkmann & Herbert F. Blaha
Deutsch-Englisch, English-German [in one volume]
Publisher: Brandstetter Verlag, Wiesbaden 1997
(5th completely revised and enlarged edition)
ISBN: 3-87097-181-9.
It covers hardware, software and telecommunications, and in this latest
edition the number of entries in both D->E and E->D directions has been
expanded by around 25% to include many terms for the latest developments in
the field, e.g. Windows 95 user interface terms, object-oriented processing
etc.
I purchased my copy from Grant & Cutler, Language Booksellers, 55-57 Great
Marlborough Street, London
Tel: +44/0 171 7342012, Fax: +44/0 171 7349272 for GBP 57.95 (pretty good
value I think).
