Book Description

This LARGE RUSSIAN-ENGLISH-RUSSIAN GENERAL DICTIONARY is really LARGE containing more than 600,000 entries and often scores of words under a single entry. Altogether there are more than 30 MILLION words in the dictionary.

This dictionary, considered the best in the market, will satisfy all your translation needs and requirements. It is really difficult to find a common word that is not listed there. The CD-ROM is structured like a conventional paper printed dictionary. The only difference is that you need not search in 8 encyclopedia size volumes of conventional paper printed dictionaries. (That is an average number of volumes required to accommodate all the words in our dictionary.) With easy and fast mouse clicks you will have a word or phrase translated in about 2 seconds. You can use a scrollbar to browse in the dictionary or you can simply type a word in the dictionary search line to find it. While you are typing a word, the search is already in progress. Each succeeding letter brings you closer to the word position in the dictionary. So you never waste time in searching.

The dictionary is a brand new compilation of modern Russian and English commonly used words and phrases, including idioms in both languages. The dictionary can serve not only as a translation tool but also as a reference source for those English speaking persons learning Russian or Russian speaking persons learning English. The CD-ROM also gives clear understanding of words meaning in different contexts providing phrase samples and idioms.

To find a word simply click PG.-II in Programs (Windows'95 and Windows'NT) or double click in File Manager (Windows'3.XX) and you will call up a dictionary icon. From this you can find almost any existing word in the both languages. "Paste" is used to transfer a translation into other applications through a clipboard. "History" preserves previously translated words for faster repeated reference. "Reverse" is used to switch between Russian-English and English-Russian Dictionaries. Another double click on the selected word or Enter strike and you have the dictionary entry.

To find a word or phrase translation from a file in your word processor is even easier. Simply highlight it and strike a hot key (Alt+1) to display the translation on your screen. Then strike Esc and the icon will be minimized awaiting its next use.

A Top Key program valued at $100 is included FREE in the CD-ROM to resolve computer and keyboard russification problems. The program will allow you to allocate all Russian or English letters on your keyboard or you can use standards assigned to different languages.

3.0 out of 5 stars software needs to be updated, but the dictionary is pretty good., September 16, 2005

Kate M. (Gaithersburg MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 600,000 Terms Large Russian-English-Russian Dictionary of Modern Words and Phrases on CD-ROM (CD-ROM)
This product came without any direction on how to install, and I wasn't able to read them from the cd. It is written for a lower version of Windows (I have XP), and hasn't been updated since the 90's. Once I figured out how to type in Russian on my pc, it was easy to look up the words. You have to leave the cd in the drive in order to access the program, even after downloading the dictionary to the hard drive. I think it needs to be updated to work with more modern operating systems and it needs coherent instructions in both Russian and English (I am bilingual and could've used either). I haven't used it extensively, however, it could be much less cumbersome to use. Since it is relatively inexpensive, I do not regret byuing it, and I will use it.
