Microsoft Glossaries for translation

If you are involved in translating documents related to Microsoft products, Microsoft glossaries are a must. Some people said it is no longer available on their FTP site, but it is available. If anyone is having a problem accessing the site using FTP application, try clicking the link below in the Web browser. It works.
<ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/developr/msdn/newup/Glossary/>

Also, although not the same as the .cvs files of the glossaries available at the above FTP site, Microsoft has the following Web-based glossaries:

Microsoft Glossary Information Center
<http://www.microsoft.com/resources/glossary/default.mspx>
(This is a page with a list of English monolingual glossaries.)

マイクロソフト単語帳
<http://www.microsoft.com/Japan/Terminology/query.asp?ui=L>
(Japanese glossaries. Haven't used it yet, so don't know how useful it is.)

You can also try MSDN Library online in English and Japanese. Some topics have glossaries. If you are trying to compare English and Japanese versions of a certain document, note that Microsoft hasn't translated many of them into Japanese.
