I hope this won't be considered as advertising, but I've just come across a new bilingual French-English dictionary/glossary which is a real boon for anyone translating in this field.

The book is published by Langues Pour Tous - Business Management Series and costs 20 €

Thanks Barnaby Sep 6, 2005

The title makes it sound like a list of names but you say dictionary and glossary, can you give more details, please?

It is in fact a bit of both + a mini-encyclopedia.
An entry taken at random from the French section:
Clou de girofle nm clove
Arôme épicé, assez fort, qui peut se révéler à la dégustation de certains vins rouges du sud de la vallée du Rhône, du Roussillon ou d'Espagne.

And here's a rather different entry from the English section:
Climate climat nm
One of the key factors which determine whether a region is suitable for quality wineproduction.

526 pages

This is what the publisher says:

"6000 definitions, both in French and English, in the fields of: oenology, viticulture, cooperage, brewing, tasting, geology, marketing, etc."

Thank you Sep 6, 2005

Thanks, it does look interesting.

I'll start my list for my next travel to Europe, ready to come back with too much load of books. I should put the heavy items in Santa's list.

Brilliant, this is exactly what I need: I'm ordering it tonight! Not a field I've ever worked in but I've been offered a job and I guess even experts had to start somewhere.
Thanks Barnaby

Let's test it! Sep 26, 2005

Sounds interesting...
But is it only a bilingual encyclopaedia or are the terms translated?
I've done a terminological study about beer and I'd like very much to confront some of my definitions with those given in this dictionary.
If it's not asking you too much, could you please tell me what it says about "ale" and how do they translate it in French?

Just to see before possibly buying it.

Sorry for this late reply - I've been beyond the reach of the Internet for the last three weeks!
Here is the entry for "ale":
Translation: bière, ale nf
"Generic word for any type of beer brewed using the method of TOP FERMENTATION".

Another entry translates and explains "top fermentation"

Hope this helps
