German term or phrase: ges. Natriumhydrogencarbonat-Lsg.
"Sodium hydrogen carbonate" is obvious here, and "Lsg." is "solution", but what about the other abbreaviation, "ges."?

Hi Jennifer,

there are various sites on the web, but there are so many field-specific abbreviations that it is sometimes very difficult to find the right term - and some companies have their own particular abbreviations and forget that they are not generally known when used in texts for translations.

There is supposed to be a good book by someone called Hunzau or Huzau or something like that.

Thanks! Other colleagues have recommended dictionaries lately--do you know a good dictionary/other reference source for technical abbreviations?
