lexicographer surrounded by thousands of dictionaries

Welcome to the world’s largest collection of specialist Dutch/English terminology!

Correct and consistent terminology is critical in technical translation, which is why I maintain an extensive database of specialist terminology. Michaelbeijer.co.uk contains a selection from my extensive collection, presented in a systematic and easily searchable format. The thousands of resources are organised using two main categories: Terms and Glossaries.

The ‘Glossaries’ category refers to any kind of terminological resource, whether this be a glossary, termbase, website with terminology, dictionary, term lookup tool, etc. A better term would be, ‘terminological resources’, but this doesn't sound as snappy. Plus, the bulk of the terminology on this site consists of myriad bilingual (mainly Dutch/English) and multilingual glossaries. Items in the Glossary category are organised using the following alphabetical index pages: 

0-9 · Terminology resources: A · Terminology resources: B · Terminology resources: C · Terminology resources: D · Terminology resources: E · Terminology resources: F · Terminology resources: G · Terminology resources: H · Terminology resources: I · Terminology resources: J · Terminology resources: K · Terminology resources: L · Terminology resources: M · Terminology resources: N · Terminology resources: O · Terminology resources: P · Terminology resources: Q · Terminology resources: R · Terminology resources: S · Terminology resources: T · Terminology resources: U · Terminology resources: V · w · Terminology resources: X · Terminology resources: Y · Terminology resources: Z

Searching tips

If you’re looking for a particular term, you have several options:

  • Visit one of the alphabetical index pages (see above) to consult the hundreds of glossaries available on this site
  • Consult the many individual Terms I have researched
  • Browse the various Categories used to organise the data
  • Have a look through the Tag cloud
  • Try the search box above. Tip: put your search term "in quotes"!
