Collins Electronic
Dictionary CD-Rom:
As
an alternative to the Oxford Hachette dictionary, this is also an
excellent resource: the dictionary is fast to load and easy to
use, and offers up-to-date expressions and terms.
I couldn't find it on Amazon's
English site but you can order it from their French site:
www.amazon.fr
(click on the picture to go straight to the order page).
Harrap's Shorter French-English /
English French Dictionary
If you don't find the term or
expression you are looking for in the Oxford or Collins
dictionaries, you may well find it here. The software takes a long
time to load and is slower to use than the previous two
dictionaries, but there are many modern expressions and technical
terms.
Again I
didn't find it on Amazon's English site, but you can order it from
their French site:
www.amazon.fr (click on the picture to go straight to the
order page).
