This paper studies issues on compiling a bilingual lexicon for technical terms. In the task of estimating bilingual term correspondences of technical terms, it is usually quite difficult to find an exist-ing corpus for the domain of such tech-nical terms. In this paper, we take an approach of collecting a corpus for the domain of such technical terms from the Web. As a method of translation estimation for technical terms, we pro-pose a compositional translation esti-mation technique. Through experimen-tal evaluation, we show that the do-main/topic specific corpus contributes to improving the performance of the compositional translation estimation. 1
