Editorial Reviews

Review

`It is fair to say that the new Routledge dictionary out-scores even the Ernst for comprehensiveness, and can claim two further advantages: it is printed in a format much easier to read, and it gives the field of activity for every entry, not just for a selected few, as does the Ernst.This is a state-of-the-art dictionary and the publisher is to be congratulated in bringing such a project to fruition. - Language International

`The layout is excellent, making it very easy to find the appropriate translation and giving a generous amount of information ... this is good general technical work and a welcome addition to the rather patchy and often idiosyncratic world of french-English bilingual technical dictionaries. it is now one of the three books to come down from my shelves as soon as apiece of french arrives - ITI Bulletin

`An ambitious,substantial, authoritative and impressive piece of work ... a quality piece of work and a worthy part of any language/technical library reference section - Reference Review

Ce dictionnaire est le reusltat dun travail de titan...nous pouvons dire que cet ouvrage est un veritable dictionnaire technique de chevet qui se rend utile a chaque instant

`Kadish has an encyclopaedic knowledge of his subject ... a very fine new book. - THES --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

A total diasappointment;anything but usefull!. You can derive uncomparably higher benefit from, say, Harrap's two volume general English-French dictionnaries at much lower cost even for your technical needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusually good technical dictionary, October 21, 2000

I've been using this dictionary for the past two years and it's a very useful one. It gives equivalents in different technical applications, terms that when you check them in unilingual dictionary are quite right! Anybody in the field of technical translation should have it!
