Estonian-English Reversible Smart Phone Dictionary of Military Terms and Relevant Vocabulary

چکیده

Description The smart phone dictionary for Android phones and tablets is being developed by a team that includes a translator, terminologist, English teachers, native speakers of English (a linguist and a person with a military background), and servicemen as needed. As of April 2015 there are about 1200 entries. Entries come from two main sources: translations and curricula of the ENDC. All entries are harmonized with language and subject matter experts before entering them in the dictionary, e.g. firearm parts were synchronized with a firing instructor, terminologist and English native speaker before teaching the subject in English classes. In this way, in addition to making specialised vocabulary available, a more harmonized use of specialised language is ensured both in English and Estonian.
