質問: I work in IT in Tokyo, so most of what I do doesn't require interaction with our Japanese customers, but every so often we get that one phone call where someone wants something explained, and I can always make it through, but never at the level that I want to. The problem usually comes in with regards to computer terminology. For example, when I'm on the spot and don't have any time to look things up, if I want to say, "if you hover over the icon, a tooltip will pop up," I just toss out something simple like「アイコンの上にマウスを動かして、クリックせずに1~2秒程待ってください。そうしますと、ツールチップが表示されます。」. And it works and gets the point across as expected. But I'm consistently wanting to improve upon sentences like that, to something more natural in Japanese --- in this particular example, what I want to know is, what is the most common and most natural way to say "hover the mouse over..."? Problem is I don't have time to do language research at work, and by the time I get home my brain is either fried or I just forget. I'm aware of stuff like for pure dictionary lookups, but really what I'm looking for is like a book that I can read during my train commute, written for native English speakers learning Japanese, and focusing exclusively on technology/Windows/programming terminology. Thanks!
回答: This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I'll post it for what it's worth. I picked this one up at a second hand book store a couple of years ago: Encyclopedic Dictionary of Computer Science: It has both English-Japanese and Japanese-English and has entries (including small articles in Japanese) for a lot of stuff from programming terminology to theoretical computer science stuff. I looked up 'hover' and 'tooltip' and neither was there, though, so it might be a bit more scientifically oriented. (For example, it lists several different kinds of garbage collection.)
