The Translator's Dictionary

It is becoming extremely important that professional translators have in their possession an interlingual dictionary that is specifically designed for them to suit their specific needs. This will save them time, money and effort which would otherwise be spent on numerous reference works alone.

In this light, one of the main concerns of this study is how the bilingual dictionary of Arabic and English can serve the Arabic-English translator in his task of translating all types of Arabic texts. In order to achieve this objective many relevant issues and problems in bilingual lexicography have been discussed and useful recommendations have been made. The result is, the translator's dictionary has now got a theory and, once applied, it can easily come to reality. It's about time the translator has been uniquely served.
