Elsevier's Dictionary of Electronics - English-French (Hardcover, Revised edition)

One of the main features of these dictionaries is that, rather than being compilations of terms taken from other publications, they are original works. Each entry was noted as encountered in the author's daily work, subsequently fully investigated, and the material finally assembled into these wide-ranging, practical reference works. 150 domains are covered within the scope of electronics, from physics to telecommunications tools. Time, particularly for a translator, is a prime factor when it comes to looking up a word in a dictionary. A great deal of thought has gone into the layout of the work, the main aim being to allow the speedy location of words and tracking down of related terms. To this end, many phrases are arranged according to their keyword, even if this actually occurs in the middle of the expression. Cross-referencing has been included wherever required for the sake of clarity, and most synonyms have been grouped together, this method often leading the user quickly to other required words, thus saving much time. Terms which have been standardized by international and national standards organizations have been included, the purpose being to encourage their use in the interests of more explicit writing; the abbreviated names of the organizations are given with the entry. These up-to-date and comprehensive dictionaries should be useful reference resources for all those dealing, in English or in French, with the technical literature and terminology of electronics.
