Hello everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find a good English/Chinese-Chinese/English computer science (ideally with computer security terms as well) dictionary?

Thank you!

Instead of finding a dictionary, I think finding a topic-related book in Chinese may help.

@querist Depending on the tech you might be able to go to an official documentation page and change the base language. For example, Google tech docs definitely support Chinese and can make it easy to compare words based on that (though some things, like Android, will just have the English word since it's a brand)

That could help in the short term, but I suspect it would take several books to cover the range of terms I would need. I shall see what I can find. thank you.

I've been studyng my major realted words with wikipedia, after searching any topic or word I just choose the chinese version of that page, and is quite accurate, I mean the translation. I can also recomend you Hanping Pro app, it helped me during my first year.

Thank you, but one small problem: I'm in the US and do not have a Chinese bank account and thus cannot use Amazon.cn. I cannot bring up these books in the US site, either.

The first and third are not available at all in the US. The second is available in a hard copy. Thank you. I'll see what I can do from here.

Thank you for pointing out that dictionary. Unfortunately, the latest edition of that dictionary appears to have been published in 2007, which is far too old to be of use. I have a different one from 2007. Thank you, though. I am curious as to why there are not more up-to-date Chinese/English computing dictionaries available.
