Langenscheidt

Langenscheidt is a privately-held German publishing company, specialising in language resource literature. As well as producing monolingual dictionaries, Langenscheidt also produces bilingual dictionaries and travel phrase-book, as well as maps and atlases.

The use of blue headwords greatly enhances the ease of word-finding. Langenscheidt has language-to-language dictionaries in many languages, including, but not limited to: English, German, Dutch, Greek, Chinese and Croatian, and in varying sizes, ranging from small travel pocket dictionaries to large desk sized ones.

Dictionary structure

The structure for most Langenscheidt dictionaries is the same. Most pocket dictionaries include around 55,000 references designed for tourists or people studying beginning or intermediate foreign languages, while larger desk sized dictionaries include around 220,000 references. After the two languages' references conclude, grammatical assistances appear in the Appendix section, including helpful abbreviations, geographical regions, currency values, temperature conversions, and numerical values.
