Understanding Translations

Entries may consist of headwords, parts of speech, the translation, and/or definitions. Other forms of the word may follow the headword. After the translation or definition, you may see a list of usage examples.

Explanation of Genders

French nouns are different from English nouns in that they must either be masculine or feminine. Each definition of a noun indicates which gender it is with M or F.

Choosing Multiple Forms

Some words in this dictionary have more than one form (e.g. résume , résumé ). When the word you are looking up has multiple forms, the different forms appear in a list.

Simply highlight the form you want and press ENTRER to see its entry. For example, select Harrap’s Shorter Fr-Engfrom the Books menu, then type resume at the word entry screen.
