The result of a unique ten year collaboration between two of the world's foremost dictionary publishers, Oxford University Press and the Dudenverlag, the original Oxford Duden German Dictionary offered the most comprehensive, accurate, and up to date coverage available of the general vocabulary of contemporary German and English. The two teams worked simultaneously, each living in their own country--in daily contact with other native speakers and in direct touch with changes in their own language--with regular joint sessions in Mannheim and Oxford to guarantee a balanced and completely consistent treatment. This sharing of expertise resulted in a new kind of dictionary, one that was truly bilingual, not only in its language, but in all the details of its conception and realization--a dictionary that met the needs of both English and German speakers in the 1990s, whether they wished to write or speak the foreign language or to translate from it.
