It may seem a weird question, but what kind of dictionaries are you using and their names?

Thanks.

Apart from Glen's example:
· Cámara de comercio -> Chamber of commerce
· Cámara de los Lores -> House of Lords
· Música de cámara -> Chamber music

I don't think so. As a matter of fact and since you consider yourself a "beginner" in English too or so it seems, I would suggest you to look for the word chamber in the English - Spanish first, and also in the German- English dictionaries and see what you come up with.

I have a feeling you'll be improving on those languages.

I don't consider myself as a beginner in English. I also did know what chamber means in English. I just feel more comfortable having the German translation.
