Does anyone know of any general-purpose commercial dictionaries available on CD or that can be downloaded and installed other than the 3 I've already mentioned? The e-Dictionaries interface used to have an excellent update feature to update any installed dictionaries, but unfortunately they discontinued the service, which was a great pity. It is helpful when translating German into English, but a bilingual collocations dictionary would be even better.Īnd on the general topic of installable dictionaries, do they even exist any more? It seems to me that many (all? ) commercial dictionaries have switched to online subscription services, which may not cost much each month (although subscribing to several different services soon adds up ), but in the long run it's far more expensive than buying a dictionary outright. I have the printed Oxford Collocations Dictionary (that came with a CD to install it ), but that's a monolingual dictionary. Either the dictionaries won't have the collocation at all that I'm looking for or one or more of them will, but the translation doesn't fit the context in question.ĭoes anyone know of any good German-English collocations dictionaries (printed, installable or online )? And the more headwords the dictionary has the better. However I find these 3 dictionaries to be particularly weak when it comes to collocations. I have 3 general-purpose dictionaries: Langenscheidt Muret-Sanders, Langenscheidt Collins and Duden Oxford, all of which I can access through Langenscheidt's excellent e-Dictionaries/e-Wörterbücher interface (the pop-up search feature is especially useful ). I'm not a translator, but often translate non-specialist online German articles into English for practice.
