About Collins Bilingual Dictionary for French-English
An extended source of information
The Lexibase software uses the lexicographical base of Collins. For example,
the French-English bilingual dictionary contains more than 480 000 translations.
A very efficient search format
The new Lexibase Collins version uses an alphabetical and approximate
search simultaneously : you simply need to type the first letters of the
word you are looking for and the program displays the next entries in
alphabetical order and a list of approximates (you can find easily misspelled
words or correct typos).
An ergonomic tool
The display is in colour : the examples, the translations, the different contexts have their own defined
colour, the reading of the screen is fast and easy. You can clearly see the text thanks to the zoom option.
You have the possibility to chose the language of interface: English, French, Spanish, Italian or German.
Simple interaction with your Windows applications
The translation software can be activated from your document of origin
by a hotkey that supplies the translation of the selected word.
You can also obtain the translation by making a simple Copy / Paste.
