Harrap's Shorter French Dictionary, published by Chambers Harrap Publishers, is one of the best known English/French bilingual dictionaries in the United Kingdom and France. The eighth edition was published in April 2007. [1] In the United States it is sold under the title Harrap's French and English College Dictionary.
The Shorter is a single-volume dictionary which began life as an abridgement of the French Standard (now Harrap's Unabridged French Dictionary, sold in two volumes and last revised in March 2007 [2]).
The first edition of the Shorter was published in two volumes, the French-English book in 1940 and the English-French four years later. [1] Revised editions were published in 1967, 1982, 1991, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2007.
Rival works include the Collins-Robert French Dictionary and the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary.
