Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary: French-English English-French
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oxford-Hachette French-English/English-French Dictionary is one of the most comprehensive and recent bilingual French-English/English-French dictionaries. It was the first such dictionary to be written using a computerized corpus and it contains 555,000 translations as well as 360,000 words and expressions. The work was first published in 1994, with its second, third and fourth editions appearing in 1997, 2001 and 2007 respectively. Though the dictionary is entirely bilingual, it is marketed under two different names, one for French, one for English:
- Le grand dictionnaire Hachette-Oxford français-anglais et anglais-français
- Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary: French-English English-French
The French version is also available in a condensed version. It is jointly published by Oxford University Press and Hachette Education.
Its two main competitors are Harrap's Shorter French Dictionary published by Chambers Harrap Publishers and Collins-Robert French Dictionary published by Harper-Collins.
