Elsevier's dictionary of automobile engineering. [Book: translation dictionary (English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish)] (in several languages)
- comp.
The Dictionary of Automobile Engineering is divided into three main parts: (1) The English basic table, with translations in German, French, Italian and Spanish and sometimes a short definition in English; the English terms in this table are arranged alphabetically and numbered consecutively. English synonyms are listed in their proper place, with a reference to the number of the main entry. (2) The separate indexes for each of the four languages other than English. (3) A collection of illustrations of major components, parts, etc., and exploded views showing further details. Users of the dictionary looking for the equivalent of an English word or term need only consult the first part, where they will find the translations in the other languages. In many cases they will also find one or more references to the relevant illustrations. The second part is of use when translating from a language other than English. When, for instance, a German word or term has to be translated into another language, the German index should be consulted. This refers one back (by number) to the basic table, where one finds the translation in the appropriate language and possibly a reference to an illustration. In the legends to the illustrations the English name of each indicated component part is given, together with its basic table number. A glance at the basic table then reveals the German, French, Italian and Spanish equivalents.
