Features: The Spanish names of animals and plants included in this dictionary that cannot be found in accurate Chinese translations or have inconsistent translations are accompanied by Latin names as much as possible for reference. All the words included in this dictionary are dialectal terms, most of which are specific terms rather than general terms, so the definitions include more restrictive or explanatory elements, which helps readers understand the meaning more accurately. Words related to geographical names are translated according to the "Handbook of Translations of Foreign Place Names," and place names not included in the handbook are uniformly translated using the "Table of Romanization of Chinese and Western Pronunciation." Most entries related to Native Americans appear in the plural form. The original dialect dictionaries used in the compilation of this dictionary are of two types: one is a comprehensive dictionary that includes dialects from various countries in the Americas, and the other is a country-specific dictionary that only includes dialects from one country in the Americas.
