Microsoft Translations Glossary

But I found a Hebrew-specific one at
http://www.elmar.co.il/wwh/wwh/lexicons/microsoft/index.en.html

And the best one seems to be refered to here from the FTP site:

I am looking for language specific glossaries, sorry: The Hebrew one is good, but I need ones provided by Microsot and in different languages. We don't currently support Hebrew, and I don't see it in the foreseeable future, but are there ones for Spanish, Portuguese, French? I need to know how they translate specific terms.

Nice problem!
What I can do for you is to send you some Microsoft Select CD software in Portugese, French Brazilian and Korean. You should pay for the carrier only.
You can install them into a machine and test & try. I have w98, w95, NT server,all select software, Burgundy zone up to january 2001.
We don't use that CD rom.
If you need spanish assistance I can help you too but via email!!!
You are right, most translates, specially spanish ones are far away...
ASk the translator: edt@bancobgn.com spanish only!!!

Go to the normal Windows download site for update (Windows Update), access the help files on one of the language types, and after getting your code for help ,ask the tech where the file/s is located, as they use specific translation sites, and all are not in the same place, likely the tech who is assigned to your request will have access to the data, unless it is one of those trade secrets MS is reluctant to part with, however I don't think so, as they use country specific translators to allow seamless translations for such as Outlook, and the current project I think is Chinese dialects as there are several thousand of them, in preparation for trade to open in these areas.
Hope you are able to wheedle the info out of them, as their normalrouting procedures are for those who simply browse. I have the link to one of the tech info sites the normal MS technicians use, but it isn't exactly what you want, it only deals with an organized setup of accessing error, and hardware problem repair, if you don't get what you want, then tell me and I wil give you the archival link, perhaps they have "some" info there on your problem, or a linkout.
Hope this helps you

The Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications contains the "Microsoft standard" English terminology for many common buttons and such in Windows.

You might try looking to see if this reference has been translated into the languages you need.

The full information you are looking is provided bij Microsoft. You need access to MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) however to get to the data. Consider that the full glossary for Windows 2000 in Dutch, contained in a comma separated file, and about 21Mb, so rather large to download (total glossary size is about 200Mb).
You can find the information on Disc 0002 of the Januari 2001 issue "Microsoft Glossaries, SDKs and Tool", English International Languages CDROM.
