The Web is certainly great, Caro, but the best thing a translator can do is specialize in a field or a limited range of fields and read up on them. And keep reading up on them. Education, education, education, as someone said.

Thanks again to both respondents.

I'm certainly breaking my teeth on this geological translation! Could really do with the two geo. dictionaries you mentioned in your explanation, is there anything else good online? My translation is really mainly about gas production but with lots of geological info. Thanks a million.
