    Default Led

    How would translate Light-emitting diode (LED) to Spanish?

    LED or led

    Thank you

    Hi Kane,

    LED = diodo emisor de luz.

    Hope it helps!

    Thanks Sara.

     Another doubt.
    The spelling of acronyms calls for capital letters, therefore; in this case, it should be LED. However, I have often seen it as “led”. What I do not know, and I was not able to confirm, is if the RAE now considers it a name like it does with “láser”, in such a case it would be spelled “led”

    I am not sure what the RAE suggests in this case, but I believe it should stay capitalized and stick to the rule for acronyms. Good luck!

    Hey, girls! I usually translate it as "diodo emisor de luz (LED)" the first time in the text and then use just LED.

    Hope you find it useful!
