PREFACE

Languages change rapidly, and this new edition of the dictionary brings in many new words and expressions in English and French, while the original text has been widely revised. The aim of this dictionary is to give the user a basic vocabulary of terms relating to computers and information technology in French and English with translations into the other language.

The vocabulary covers the main areas of computer technology, including hardware, software, programming, networks, peripherals, together with many applications where computers are used; information technology in general, telecommunications, TV and radio, desk-top publishing, graphics and design, e-mail and the Internet; these are the situations in which the user may frequently require translations from one language into the other.

The dictionary covers not only international usage, but in some cases identifies words and expressions where American and British usages differ.

The dictionary gives many examples of usage, both to show how the words are used in context and how they can be translated; these examples are supplemented by short quotations in both languages from newspapers and magazines from all over the world; these show the worldwide applications of the two languages.

PREFACE

Cette nouvelle édition revue et corrigée a subi une mise à jour importante. Notre but est de vous offrir le vocabulaire essentiel de la langue de l'informatique qui s'est beaucoup enrichie au cours des dernières années, aussi bien en français qu'en anglais.

Outre les mots du langage courant employés dans le quotidien de l'informatique et de la micro-informatique, vous trouverez le vocabulaire des ordinateurs (matériels, logiciels, programmation, périphériques, réseaux, etc,), celui des applications multiples se rapportant au traitement des données (télécommunications, infographie, PAO, etc.), et des innovations plus récentes (CD ROM, messagerie électronique, Internet, etc).

Les exemples très nombreux sont des outils précieux qui permettent d'aider à résoudre les problèmes de traduction de cette langue spécialisée qui évolue sans cesse.

De multiples citations tirées de la presse spécialisée du monde anglophone et francophone vous permettront de mieux saisir le sens des mots dans leur contexte.
