Jean-Michel Kalmbach: Suomi-ranska opiskelusanakirja ('Finsk-fransk studieordbok'); Seppo Sundelin: Ranska-suomi opiskelusanakirja ('Fransk-finsk studieordbok')

Resumé

the dictionaries concerned, sources used by the authors, reference system between
articles, appendices, phraseology, vocabulary of different styles (vulgar, colloquial,
Iiterary) and jargons, proper names, and bibliography. The reliability of the translations
given in the dictionaries is only exarninated with respect to the legal terminology
included in them.
The general opinion of the reviewer is very positive. He, however, makes some
propositions for later editions. For example, more proper names could be added and,
besides, readers could be told how foreign proper names have normally been adapted
to the systems of the languages concerned (orthographic alterations etc.). Since no
dictionary can be perfect, more detailed bibliographies would also be very useful.
