Father Camil Bulcke’s English – Hindi Dictionary is now being published in an attractive coloured computerized edition. This dictionary, Father Bulcke wrote in his preface to the First Edition, will prove helpful, not only to students of Hindi in India and abroad but also to those whose mother tongue is Hindi, especially engaged in translation work. The needs of Indian students, wishing to improve their knowledge of English, have also been kept in mind and it is for them that a simple system has been devised giving the pronunciation of the English words in Nagari script. ".One feature of this dictionary will prove useful both to students of Hindi and to translators. The various meanings of the English words are made clear by additional indications in brackets and are immediately followed by the Hindi equivalents ;p if necessary, different shades of meaning are separated by a semicolon. This arrangement will enable the reader to pick out the word he needs.
