Looking for good bi-direction English - French dicitionary.

Currently I'm using MSDict (and love it!!) but there is no English-French dictionary available for MSDict. :(

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Might be worth checking out HarperCollins (www.tomtom.com). It's kind of expensive ($35) but has excellent coverage and gives gender for nouns.

The databases are large so I use PiDirectII & run it off the MS without any problems.

I use BDicty (www.beiks.com) I am not sure if it will be as comprehensive as you might want, but I found it very helpful when I was in France this summer.

The package I bought includes an English to French dictionary, a French to English Dictionary and an English to French phrase converter. I have been really pleased with it.

Very nice thread as I have been trying to find a French-English Dictionary myself! & just so happens to have this thread. :D

I'm currently using AbsoluteWord's RoadLingua
found it last night at www.absoluteword.com
It has many different language data base & it should be a freeware but just has a nags screen ocassionally. :)

I just found a link to Ultralingua on the PalmSpirit (French) web-site:

Looks like they have a bunch of dictionaries including English-French.

Im using SlovoEd and think thats the best u can get.

U can add as many languages as u like and store them wherever u like. Either in the ram or on the MS.
And it runs on every Palm OS..
