Hallo
Ich beschäftige mich im Moment mit englischer Rechts- und Wirtschaftssprache und brauche unbedingt eine gutes Wörterbuch auf diesem Gebiet (Englisch - Deutsch - Englisch). Bevor ich mir irgend etwas anschaffe, wäre ich froh um euren Rat. Welches ist das vollständigste und vertrauenswürdigste Wörterbuch für dieses Fachgebiete?

| My two cents... | Jan 15, 2002 |
I doubt whether there is a single dictionary that stands out as *the* best - here\'s what I use:
- General economic and legal terms:
Dietl/Lorenz, Wörterbuch für Recht, Wirtschaft und Politik
Verlag C.H. Beck
EN-DE 6. Auflage 2000 / ISBN 3-406-44112-2
DE-EN 4. Auflage 1992 / ISBN 3-406-36654-6
- Banking / exchanges:
Zahn, Wörterbuch Bank- und Börsenwesen
Fritz Knapp Verlag

[The ones I use date back to 1994 and 1996, respectively; no idea whether there has been a later update]
EN-DE ISBN 3-7819-2032-1
DE-EN ISBN 3-7819-2031-3
- Legal terminology:
Romain/Bader/Byrd, Wörterbuch der Rechts- und Wirtschaftssprache
Verlag C.H.Beck, Helbing & Lichtenhahn, Mainz
EN-DE 5. Auflage 2000 ISBN 3-406-45407-0
DE-EN 3. Auflage 1993 ISBN 3-406-35836-5
www.kater-verlag.de has quite a good selection.
HTH - best regards, Ralf

| Hamblock ist zu vergessen! | Jan 16, 2002 |
Dietl ist das zuverlässigste Rechtswörterbuch für EN und DE.
Natürlich muss man sich damit auskennen, um den vollen Nutzen daraus ziehen zu können. Die \"Hamblock-Übersetzungen\", die ich bis jetzt im KudoZ-Forum gesehen habe, sind schlecht und zu 99% falsch.
Dietl rules - not doubt (used by experts!)
| | | | | I did't make my posting as clear as I could.... | Jan 17, 2002 |
I use Hamblock for general business terms, but Dietl for the first stage of legal terminology work. Once I\'ve found the term in Dietl I like to check out the proper usage in Garner\'s Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage.
Sorry for any confusion guys!
Plus I like to check specific references to specific acts (e.g. §264 HGB) in the relevant Act (either in my hard copies or on-line) to make sure I get the meaning completely right...

| Dietl v. Hamblock | Mar 18, 2002 |
One of the major limitations of Dietl is that the last edition of the German to English volume is 10 years old. A lot of new terminology (in intellectual property/business law/European law) is missing.
Dietl offers a lot of functional translations which, while always very accurate, are often not the most usual. However its explanations are good which may help non-legally-trained translators.

Hamblock/Wessels is a SUPERB dictionary. Comprehensive and very very well researched. Werner mentioned that some of the Hamblock translations on the site appear inapt. This is probably because Hamblock does not provide explanations and offers multiple alternatives - to use the dictionary properly you have to know the subject well or be prepared to cross-reference results.
By way of comparision for one paticular meaning of *Ausweisung* Dietl has \"expulsion of an alien\" and for *ausweisen* \"to expel (an unwanted person)\"
Hamblock has \"expulsion, deportation banishment\" and \"expel, deport, exclude, banish\" respectively
In UK English we talk almost exclusively of deportation. Consequently, while you will clearly get the meaning right relying on Dietl (no risk that you will use the completely inappropriate *banishment*) you won\'t necessarily have found the most appropriate word.

Dietl is still much, much better than Hamblock. Besides, the English-German volume came out in a new edition in 2000, with the German-English to follow soon.
Of course, you cannot just pick terms out of a dictionary blindly; you have to be smart about your choices, and, above all, consult more than just one dictionary! But Hamblock will never be my choice. ▲ Collapse
| | | | | expulsion v. deportation | Mar 19, 2002 |
I remember watching a gaggle of EU politicians discussing the situation in Kosovo here in Washington, DC. It struck me as curious how some of those leaders, non-native English speaking, would refer to the expulsion of Kosovo Albanians as a mass deportation. These two terms don\'t mean the same. Expulsion is done by force or through circumstance, deportation is a primarily a legal procedure, hence I don\'t understand the above comment.

As I said before, I use Hamblock for business terms and find it truly excellent in that field. Hamblock is not, was not and will never be a legal dictionary.
Dietl is a legal dictionary, the business (especially the financial) terminology sucks.
Would you consult a medical text book for a business question? No. So let\'s not get business and legal confused. Okay, they do overlap, but we have to know when to use which dictionary.

Another thing I like to do if I have a term I am unsure of and find a dictionary translation is to \"put the dictionary translation to the test\" - look it up in my text books and on the Web. If I find it used in context I think that\'s a good sign.
My 2 euro-cents.

Kater is offering a CD-ROM version of Dietl. Is it as good as the book version? One reason I am asking is that I think I noticed that Ernst in CD-ROM does not seem as extensive as its print version.
