English-to-Traditional Chinese Dictionary
Description and Coverage
Our English-to-Traditional Chinese Dictionary covers about 80,000 headwords of general vocabulary and important proper names. Optimized for the convenience of users of electronic dictionaries and online translation tools, it has just the right amount of detail: enough equivalents to give an in-depth understanding, yet short enough not to clutter up the screen.
This dictionary is being used in such well-known, revolutionary translation tools like Babylon and Quicktionary. A Simplified Chinese edition is also available.
Editiorial Policy
The Traditional Chinese (TC) used in this dictionary is not merely a code-conversion equivalent of the Simplified Chinese (SC) edition. It has been carefully proofread to ensure accuracy both on the orthographic and the lexemic levels. The former is similar to American 'color' vs. British 'colour', whereas the latter corresponds to American 'gas' vs. British 'petrol'. For example, 'laser' is translated to 激光 in SC but to 雷射 in TC.
