Si Nuntias Latinas de Radione Helsinkio, vel iudicia novissima de Vaticano de rebus informaticis, auscultare velis, forsitan hoc parvum lexicon tibi prosit. Sed circumspectus es! Etiam Julius Caesar ipse ordinatorem privatum non possedit; igitur nonulla inventio necessaria est ut linguam Latinam in aetatem informaticam quam celerrime iaculari possit. Exempli gratia, illud verbum "ordinator", de verbo Gallico "ordinateur" atque de verbo Hispanico "ordenador" in modo reverso effictum est. Preaterea, opera multa, quae in aetate Romana solum hominibus efficta erant, hodie cum artificiis et libellis peracta sunt - sic mutavit usus verborum qualium "imprimator" atque "monitor". Tamen, si has cautiones non obliviscaris, spero hunc parvum thesaurum tibi prodesse.

If you wish to listen to the News in Latin broadcast by Radio Helsinki, or if you wish to keep up to date with the latest pronouncements by the Vatican on computing matters, then this dictionary could be for you. A word of caution: since even Julius Caesar did not have a personal computer, a certain amount of creativity was necessary to catapult Latin into the information age. For example, the word for "computer" was reverse engineered from the French "ordinateur" and the Spanish "ordenador". In addition, many tasks which in the age of the Romans were almost exclusively perfomed by humans, have now been transferred to machines and computer programs - this has affected the use of words such as "printer" and "monitor". However, with these provisos, I hope you will derive some benefit from this modest dictionary!
