App Description

Kucera: Dictionary of Exact Science and Technology, German-English/English-German, edition 2017
The Kucera: Dictionary of the Exact Science and Technology is a large dictionary with 527,000 words from 103 technical and scientific specialty areas and offers an unrivaled wealth of information. „This is a Rolls-Royce among polytechnical dictionaries“ (Mirek Drazil in "The Linguist", 9/2002). The Kucera is the ideal tool for anyone who practices English-German professional translation on a high level.
With his fifty years’ experience as a professional lexicographer and translator, the author formulated the words and their translations from the most up-to-date professional literature. Here terminological systems and contexts were handled in uniform fashion and synonyms, antonyms and reference technology were worked out precisely. Numerous brief explanations understandable even to laypeople, specialty definitions and DIN assignments permit the clear content assignment and delimitation of the individual professional terms.
