Elektronische Woordenboeken Als Vertaalhulpmiddel

This article presents some results of a survey that has been conducted by Van Dale Lexicografie amongst Dutch professional translators. In that survey the needs of professional translators for translation and writing tools have been investigated. The article gives an idea of the problems that these needs cause for a publisher of paper dictionaries and how Van Dale as a dictionary publisher feels that it should react to this, now and in the future.
