Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Veronica's Review
This was really helpful for a health insurance presentation I did. The only problem is that it is very "business" lingo oriented, obviously, so while the terms were all correct, if you're dealing with people who don't know the lingo, you still have to explain the terms to them in layman's language. This was not a huge problem as I have to do this for my English-speaking clients, too, so it wasn't exactly shocking or the book's "fault."

 



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding Coverage of Business Terms
In my work I have to translate presentations and training materials which are filled with technical business terms such as "hard-core cartel," "overinvoicing," and "insider trading" from English to Spanish. I got this book to help out and it has far exceeded my expectations. Practically every term of art that I needed to find was there. If you are doing business doing business in a bilingual market, this book is an essential. I highly recommend it.

 



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very informative
Super nice copy as described. Has so many things, just need to learn how to use it. Will be an excellent reference book for teaching English to non native speakers.

 



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Unappropriate but comprehensive
This is a jargon Spanish-English Dictionary with good coverage of business terms. However, the reality is that Spanish-speaking countries often use different terms for the same concept. To be useful, such a dictionary, in addition to just translating a term to the other language, should offer a brief definition, enough for a person to know if the term means what he wants to say. In the case that different terms exist for the same concept, it would be very helpful if the dictionary specified the country or countries that use each specific term. From the English side, which I am not familiar with, it could be that UK, Australia and the US have different terms too.. A dictionary that did not deal with such realities should better be called a Mexican Spanish-US English Dictionary..


 



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sin dudas, el mejor
Soy economista, por mi profesion suelo leer bastante libros y diarios, especificamente de economia y en ingles, tambien poseo varios diccionarios financieros pero los mismos son muy incompletos.
Lo considero el mejor, por que casi no hay un termino economico que no lo contenga. Con anterioridad a la compra, he tenido que recurrir a otros y muchas veces los terminos buscados no estaban.
Sin lugar dudas, mas alla de lo economico de su precio, por su contenido es el mejor.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Vastly superior to anything else out there!
For my work as business translator I have bought every bilingual English-Spanish business dictionary published for almost 25 years now. Previous purchases included Wiley's English-Spanish, Spanish-English Business Dictionary by the same author, and The Oxford Spanish Business Dictionary. Even though the Oxford dictionary claims to have over 50,000 entries, and the Wiley dictionary 40,000, the Wiley dictionary was in reality much larger.

These were the dictionaries I used the most. The rest I had practically never looked at. For several years these two dictionaries helped me get my job done, but as each year went by more and more terms I needed were not there. Terms such as those in electronic commerce and business theory, to name a couple.

Happily, a few months ago Webster's New World English-Spanish/Spanish-English Business Dictionary was published, and now I have access to over 80,000 entries and over 100,000 translations! Its 2006 publication date insures that it is completely current, and amazon lets you see sample content right on this page. If you go to the Wiley website you can see the entire letter a in the English to Spanish section. I suggest going there and seeing for yourself how much you can find there, and then coming back here to buy it, as it is about $13 cheaper here.

It is clear that this will be the only English-Spanish business dictionary I will need for years to come! Check out the sample content and see for yourself if you agree!
