I have a translation book that covers welding terms in 12 languages
(about 0.5 cm thick). It just doesn't contain all expressions. I need
English translations of the Danish words "a-maal", "undermaal", and
"overmaal" which has something to do with weld seam quality. This
example shows that we do need a directory of terms as suggested by
George.
