Featuring Latin American Spanish and American English, The Compact American Spanish Dictionary is an authoritative, up-to-date bilingual dictionary that is designed for quick and easy use. The various meanings of every word are clearly distinguished within each entry, making it simple to find the exact translation you want without having to guess or turn back and forth between sections. A separate listing of computer words -- such as browser, mousepad, and home page -- puts the vocabulary of the Internet at your fingertips. All entry words for both languages are fully syllabicated, and Spanish words are alphabetized according to the changes adopted in 1994 by the Spanish language academies. Distinctive features include: Latin American Spanish and American English, 70,000 words and phrases, more than 120,000 translations in all, abundant idioms and phrasal verbs, Spanish and English verb tables, and example sentences illustrating typical usage in both languages.
