Customer Reviews

Not helpful in every case!

This book includes a bunch of special management words, but has a lack of words in economics.

Essential Addition to Your German Dictionary Collection

If you are doing much business with German companies, you need to have this book. I work for a German company and get much e-mail in German. Relying on the web translation sites, my rudimentary knowledge of German, or my basic German dictionary is not enough. Many business terms are not easily translated. Some terms, when broken down to there component parts, can make no sense at all. Wiley's English-German-English Business dictionary has been quite valuable in translating the lengthier terms not contained in these other sources. It is easy to use with its large fonts and 'airy' layout. You can quickly find that mysterious word you can't otherwise translate. I keep it right next to my PC.This clean and straightforward layout does have a drawback. It can be a bit simplistic. It does also contain some more commonly used German words and those translations can be a little on the light side. Much like English, some German words can have several layers of meaning. It seems only the more common usages are contained. You would be advised to keep a more robust (e.g. Harper Collins Unabridged) translation dictionary handy for cross-reference.Overall, I must highly recommend this dictionary. I wish I had found it sooner - it may have averted one or two mildly embarrassing misunderstandings.
