Return on Investment (acronym) Explanation: Retorno de la inversión. Financial texts in Spanish usually leave the acronym in English. |

return on investment Explanation: In technical / financial material, it is common practice for the acronym to be left in the native language. I would therefore assume that here the acronym is an English one for return on investment. |

ROI (rendimiento de la inversión)... Explanation: I would place the acronym in English and follow it up with the Spanish translation as noted above. Retorno would not be used in a Mexican context for example, whereas "rendimiento" has a more generic ring. Good luck! |

another possiblity Explanation: Mr. Anderson, I have done some further searching and since I see that this is software related, and it says Usuario ROI, this could also mean a computer program called ROI. I performed a search in Yahoo! for "ROI" and found several corporations, some return on investment, others providing marketing or e-commerce solutions. ROI can also mean, in computer terms, read-only input, a keyboard or a scanner for example. If your software is purely financial related, rendimiento de la inversión is fine, but if it is an e-commerce solution or other, more context would be helpful. Good luck!
