Publisher's Synopsis
"Beton" is German for "concrete", but what is "Ortbeton"? A good knowledge of German is usually not enough when it comes to technical terms. This is where "Terms for civil engineers" comes in.<br> The program may be used to look up terms whose definitions are unclear, and users can extend and alter the definitions found in the dictionary for themselves. A simple mouse click on the self–explanatory symbol bar switches between German–English and English–German.<br> There are two ways to find the translation of a word:<br> 1. Typing in the first few letters of the word brings the user to the relevant position in the dictionary, while the letters entered remain visible in a window.<br> 2. A search for all entries containing part of a word returns a list of hits.<br>
