field constantly need to stay up-to-date in this rapidly changing field.

the translator to be proficient in the latest Microsoft and computer lingo.

you do not need to fear obsolescence with this dictionary -- online updates
are available quarterly from Microsoft Press. Available at a discount
through Amazon.com.
The
Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications
In manuals for computer-related products, inconsistency reigns. It sometimes
seems like each manual writer has his or her own style. Under these conditions,
the task of the translator does not lie simply in putting the material
of one language into another. He must also shape the translated product
into a high-quality, proficient piece of work in the target language.
This is essential for producing value-added translation.
The Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publication is an invaluable reference for producing manuals for computer-related products, especially software documentation. Originally designed as a style guide for writers at Microsoft, it describes the correct use of terminology and deals with style issues. This book is strongly recommended for translators in the computer field, and others will probably find it useful as well.

McGraw-Hill
Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms
To a J-E technical translator, an English reference for source material
can be a tremendous aid for understanding the material and putting it
into English. Textbooks, manuals of similar devices, dictionaries, and
other references are often all brought into play to produce high-quality
work.
This is where the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms comes onto the scene. This dictionary contains 105,000 terms covering over 100 fields, from acoustics to zoology. Nothing can be more valuable to a translator than to have a wide range of technical information available in a quick, easy-to-use reference like this dictionary offers. It can be useful to anyone who has to keep up with developments in a variety of technical fields. Hardcover.
