Engineering acronyms

Can anyone point me to a downloadable list of engineering acronyms? I am in the process of training a non native English speaking mechanic the ropes.

As an example, reading through the list of outstanding ADD's and trying to decipher them. Not only does he have to translate some of the unillegible scrawl that has been written by previous engineers, he has to understand what some of the TLA's mean. (Three letter abbreviations)!

An Airbus related one would be preferable, but if there is a generic one that explains basic engineering terms and phrases that would be great.

Try and explain "GRND TSTD SATIS" to a Spanish speaker!
