The FAO "Glossary of biotechnology
for food and agriculture", published in 2001 as FAO Research and
Technology Paper 9, has now been translated into Spanish,
entitled "Glosario de biotecnología para la agricultura y la
alimentación".
Apart from a translation of the
over 3,000 terms and definitions contained in the original
English glossary, the 510-page publication also contains an
additional English-Spanish vocabulary of biotechnology-related
terms.
The Spanish translation was
carried out by the Cátedra Alfonso Martín Escudero in the
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and coordinated by its
Director, Ignacio Trueba. The translators were M.J. Fraga
Fernández Cuevas, P. Rodríguez Palenzuela, E. Cabrera Ordóñez
and A. Alfonso Gallegos.
The publication is available, both
in PDF and as a searchable database, at
http://www.fao.org/biotech/index_glossary.asp?lang=es. |
