Dictionaries on CD

[Nick Worley]

I have 2 general dictionaries on CD, Duden Oxford & Collins (both Ger<>Eng)
and I like both of them and find that between them they have most of the
general words (i.e. non-technical, non-scientific words) that I come across.
But are there any other general dictionaries on CD that people would
recommend?

Also, are there any technical-scientific dictionaries on CD that anyone
would recommend other than Ernst Wörterbuch der industriellen Technik?

Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick,

I don't use any off-line electronic dic...

But I create a FREE online dictionary with technical-scientific topics too.

Please feel free to look at my website. I a few months time you can download
the topics of interest to you and import them into the CyG database for easy
retrieval, ...

I've never come across a better one than Oxford Duden on CD, which I agree
is excellent. Unless one day the Langenscheidt Encyclopaedic appears on CD,
which it hasn't yet to my knowledge, but I haven't enquired for a few years.
Anyone know if they plan to publish it on CD (i.e. the Langenscheidt
Encyclopaedic Muret Sanders in two vols for each direction)?

If you're interested in complementing your Schäfer and Hans Zahn, the
Langenscheidt Fachw'buch Wirtschaft, Handel und Finanzen integrates with
Oxford Duden in the same interface, which is handy (in fact it puts them
both into the Langenscheidt interface, which is just as fast and reliable as
the Oxford Duden interface). You don't have to have it in the CD drive to
start it like you do with the Ox/Dud. The dictionary is useful to have
because it sometimes comes up with words that Schäfer and Zahn haven't got.
Also it doesn't contain certain fairly basic words that the others do have,
strangely, but as I say this makes it a good complement. To answer your
question, I find the Brandstetter IT dictionary useful - pretty
comprehensive. If you buy it, install it in a different folder from the
Ernst Wörterbuch der industriellen Technik, as these two integrate in an
annoying way so keep them separate. Can't think of any others.

It would also be handy to have Dietl/Lorenz on CD - anyone know if this is
planned?

There are all sorts of Langenscheidt dictionaries on CD, they all go with
the program called "PC Bibliothek" which you can use both on PC and
Macintosh. If you use the Duden on CD, you probably use the program already.
There are dictionaries for almost any taste, like Maschinenbau, Chemie,
Chemische Analytik, Mikroelektronik, Telekommunikation, Medizin... All in
E-G and G-E, as far as I know.

Fachwörterbuch industrielle Elektrotechnik, Energie- und
Automatisierungstechnik (4. Aufl.), Heinrich Bezner, Teil. 1.
Deutsch-englisch, Publicis-MCD-Verl., 3-89578-077-4, which is published by
Siemens. I have the hardcopy version only but I think it is available on CD
as well.

Wörterbuch der modernen Technik : deutsch-englisch, Jutta und Jörg
Oppermann, Oppermann Verlag, 3-9801227-6-X (2 vol.). Hardcopy ref., but the
preface mentions a CD to be lauched the same year (the book was published in
1999).

Elsevier offers their "Dictionaries on CD-ROM, segment version", where you
can choose among various subject fields, such as business, engineering,
computing, etc. Each subject field contains about 10-20 different
dictionaries. It costs about 200 Eur. per subject field, on a yearly basis,
i.e., you may use the CD-ROM for 1 year only, after which it is
desactivated. You may check the Elsevier web site, which I don't have handy,
since I orded this CD via a fax order form.
