New modern Arabic-English dictionary launched

Oxford University Press has announced the launch of a new Arabic-English dictionary which features more than 130,000 words and phrases.

The print and digital publication of the Oxford Arabic Dictionary also includes 200,000 translations and 70,000 real example phrases.

Produced by an international team of expert translators and advisors using Oxford’s language research programme, the Oxford Arabic Dictionary is the first of its kind to be based throughout on real modern evidence of both English and Arabic usage, a statement said.

The unique Arabic corpus, developed specially for this project, provides evidence of the latest vocabulary used in computing, business, the media, and the arts, making the resource the most up-to-date bilingual Arabic and English dictionary available.
