The Spanish Slang to English Dictionary List by Country

The Spanish Slang to English Dictionary List by Country
There are many Spanish slang dictionaries in Spanish, but when you are looking for a specific Spanish slang to English dictionary the options are more limited. This is a work-in-progress list of bilingual Spanish Slang to English dictionaries by country. My goal is to feature all the dictionaries available in print or eBook format as I find them. This way you don’t need to spend time browsing around for reference sources.

I am still missing bilingual options from Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Spain and Uruguay. If you know of any dictionaries for those countries or any additional titles to include here, please let me know in the comments or via email: [email protected]/.
