MEXICAN-ENGLISH CONSTRUCTION DICTIONARY
This translation guide works for American contractors with illegal Mexican workers. It`s far from having proper Spanish construction and engineering terminology, and when I refer Spanish, I mean international Spanish, not just from the Peninsula. Many of the ¨Spanish¨translations are inaccurate and many are just funny Americanisms. It is a very limited guide, and could probably be used in California and Texas by a few little, not by the rest of the world, not to say Latin America.

LO VE IT
I bought this for my last job Austin Habitat for Humanity(TX)because of bilingual issues when helping volunteers or translating text,and both families and co-workers said that it was great when communicating with non-english speakers in the construction industry,it made speaking spanish easier and more effective.
