Abstract
The authors consider the role of culture in technical translation in the field of information technology. Using a functional approach, they identify a number of changes in the Spanish translation of articles from the US Byte magazine, ranging from a different choice of terminology in order to avoid transferring source language connotations, to the omission of references to culture specific US phenomena.
