Control de Procesos en Español
ControlGlobal is looking for process-control resources written in Spanish. Last month, we launched a Spanish-language web page on our site. Its called Control de Procesos en Éspañol. This cyber spot was created with a missionto collect process control, automation and instrumentation resources that have been written in or translated to Spanish. Recently, one of our readers submitted a question to our Ask The Experts column. He is a Spanish native-speaker and has come across a vast collection of English books on these subjects, but has had a difficult time finding books written in Spanish. He inquired if we knew of any books. Our experts and editors at ControlGlobal.com decided to launch this site asking our online automation community and soon we received many replies. These replies are posted on the site. To check them out and contribute any further visit http://www.controlglobal.com/extras/espanol.html.
