@annaeileenmusic @Schmopera We don't use the Cassell for any of the languages. Of the other dictionaries, Langenscheidt has a good basic translation dictionary, Collins has a good app dictionary for most languages, and I adore my Larousse French dictionary for crazy words I can't find anywhere else!

[The Diction Police @DictionPolice]

@Schmopera @annaeileenmusic We use the Larousse French-English dictionary app or the Pons website. Littré also has an app, but they use a different form of phonetics.
