Does not justify the price tag - By: Anonymous, 12 Mar 2007
I bought this dictionary to use for professional purposes, but I don't feel that it justifies the quite elevated price tag. There are many terms that are used quite generallyin business circles which are not included here. For example, I could not find an entry for EBIT or EBITDA (either under "Earnings" or under the acronym itself). Similarly, there is no listing for "filière", which can be usedin many contexts (e.g. "filière composite", "filière administrative", "filière industrielle"). To me these seem like fairly glaring omissions, & they are just a couple of examples. To add to this, I found quite a significant errorin the section entitled "Titres de fonction employés dans le domaine commercial/Job titles usedin commerce". "Cadre chargé des contrats" is translated as "training officer" & "Cadre chargé de la formation" as "contracts officer". This should clearly be the other way around. Allin all, I find that free online resources & dictionaries are better for my purposes than this rather expensive dictionary.
