Abstract:

This compact and up-to-date two-way dictionary provides a comprehensive 
and modern vocabulary. It is the ideal reference for all users of Portuguese.

The dictionary includes an extensive coverage of practical terminology from a 
diversity of fields including; business and economics, law, medicine and 
information technology as well as common abbreviations, toponyms (place 
names), nationalities, numerous idiomatic expressions and slang. 

Key features:

-Completely up-to-date reflecting the recently-agreed orthographic changes 
between Brazil and Portugal.
-Definitions and differences in both variants clearly signposted.
-Brazilian Portuguese vocabulary where it differs from European-African 
Portuguese and some American English terms. 
-Coverage of colloquial and slang registers. 
-Useful notes on grammatical points and false friends, as well as boxes with 
cultural knowledge relating to the U.K., U.S.A., Brazil, Portugal and the other 
Portuguese-speaking countries.

"The Routledge Portuguese Bilingual Dictionary" provides the maximum 
information in the minimum space, making it an invaluable reference source
