One thing I did to learn programming terminology was use wikipedia. I did some combination of look up the term in English and switch to Japanese, or browse around the Japanese and switch back to English if I need to.

Anyway, here are some other random suggestions:

programming:
データ型 (データがた) data type
入力 (にゅうりょく) input
出力 (しゅつりょく) output

参照 (さんしょう) reference
返値 (かえりち return value (alternative to 戻り値)

general:
日本語版 (にほんごばん) Japanese language version
設定 (せってい) setting

changelogs:
変更 (へんこう) modification
追加 (ついか) addition

I work in embedded software and lots of the terminology I know may not be so useful to general application developers. For example:

割り込み (わりこみ) interrupt
仮想 (かそう) virtual (as in virtual memory)
移植 (いしょく) porting

修正する　（しゅうせいする）revise
する（じっこうする）execute
先祖がえり（せんぞがえり）degrade, degradation
“Create a class that will call the service methods of ABC API and return an array.” = ABC API をつかってarrayを作り出すクラスを作る。
値を出す　（あたいをだす）output the number
更新する（こうしんする）update
公開する（こうかいする）publish
集約する（しゅうやくする）gathering requirement
要件（ようけん）requirement
見積もる（みつもる）estimate (time)
情報工学系 (じょうほうこうがく) computer science

There’s also テスト環境 vs 本番環境.

機能（きのう） – feature/function
本番（ほんばん） – production
本番化する（ほんばんかする） – productionise (go live)
言語（げんご） – language (it’s also used for ‘programming language’)
ほげほげ – Japanese for ‘foobar’

I think the bigger problem you might not have realized with Taiwanese is that they still use traditional Chinese while the Canon dictionaries are simplified. If you want to look up compounds in traditional on the Canon, you’ll have to look up each individual character first to find the simplified equivalent and then look up the compound with the simplified version. It’s a pain which is why I prefer to just stick to simplified. Unfortunately, most of the literature in my local library/book store are in traditional. Sigh…

Oh, and a correction. When I wrote 22万円 in my previous post, I obviosly meant 2万円. I dubbletap my keys by mistake sometimes.

You’re probably right about the recordings. I haven’t learned pinyin yet though. I’m in the proccess of learning though.

Another unexpected “problem” in my case is that my friends is mostly taiwanese people. I knew that the taiwanese pronounciation is a bit different than native chinese, it turns out that eventhough they speak mandarin, they sometimes use/choose different words than a native chinese would. Which has led to me choosing the “wrong” word from my dictionary when trying to speak to them. Not the dictionarys fault obviosly, just an observation.

Guess I have to try and spend more time with my native chinese friends as well.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I already have a Canon G90 and it works great though the screen is a little dark. I chose the G90 over V90 because of 中日大辞典 which has the most entries for Chinese. Personally, I think the recorded pronunciations are overrated for Chinese. The sound quality isn’t very good and useless once you learn proper pinyin pronunciation. Of course, for English it’s invaluable since it’s not phonetic.

It looks like they have a newer model (G903) now that has practically everything. I probably would have gotten that if it was out when I purchased mine.

I only wish they would add a backlight or something for the dark screen.
