computadora (ordenador) principal (o anfitrión) Explanation: To translate this as "el host" into Spanish is, my opinion, incorrect. This is the colloquial form, but the technically right expression is "computadora (ordenador) principal (anfitrión)" computadora = in Latin America ordenador = in Spain host = literally "anfitrión", but principal (main) is used more often The most common form is "Computadora (ordenador) principal" I hope it helps. native Spa speaker with more than 15 years translatin IT-related texts Collazo; Dicc.
