During my years of teaching technical English to French students in the fields of land surveing and G.I.S., a real bilingual technical dictionary lacked cruelly.

Progressively, by comparing documents in both languages and definitions in unilingual technical dictionaries, I managed to compile the vocabulary and expressions in the form of a detailed glossary with annotations that provide sure and easy use.

The aim of this dictionary is to provide professionals and students with a bilingual collection of vocabulary covering all the fields related to the professions of land surveyors, geographers, geodesists, cartographers and geomaticians.

With over six thousand terms, it cannot be said to be exhaustive, but is a precious guide for anyone confronted with problems in understanding and translating professional documents.
