English to Spanish

Hi, linguaphiles!

I came baring a question about translating technical terms into spanish.

So here's the deal. The "official" dictionary for us spanish-speakers SUCKS SO MUCH I AM OUT OF WORDS. It is especially obvious when it comes to even the simplest of technical terms. (Up until two years ago, cacti were only Mexican and only had yellow flowers according to the dictionary.)

My question is, where can I find online dictionaries for technical terms that at least sound coherent? I really cannot use the RAE. I really can't. I'm sorry to all you RAE-fans, but it's true.
Up until now, the only person i can count on is my gradmother, because she has used tools for years.
