Subject: electronic dictionaries
Dear list,
I know we have been here before. Most of the electronic dictionaries I have
seen are not very satisfactory. However, I remember one, which was almost a
replica of the Oxford English Hebrew. I think somebody mentioned its name a
little while ago, but I can't, for the life of me, remember it. Can anybody
help?
An example of a problem in electronic dictionaries is the following.
Several of my students have something called, I think, Top Mate. The word
'composition', with the meaning of essay, didn't appear. You can imagine the
confusion when the students tried to fit in the translations they got, when
they were asked to write a composition!
