Well, um, I don't quite know. Lessee ... I'm sure that there is some US Federal form that requires DSM-IV information, which means (since its the Feds) that it has to be stated as an acronym, so there is probably a guidebook available for download somewhere on the web as a 22MB PDF appendix to a 15kB PDF form. That'd prolly work.
Or, some clever programmer type out there in Babbleland could write us up a nice little program that takes an acronym as input and generates its translation by randomly choosing words beginning with the acronym's initials from some readily available word processor or spell checker dictionary.
