ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the best dictionaries for chemists, such as, Patterson, A. M., A German-English Dictionary for Chemists, 3rd ed., Wiley, New York, 1950; Patterson, A. M., A French-English Dictionary for Chemists, 2nd ed., Wiley, New York, 1954; and Dictionary of Chemical Terminology in Five Languages, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1980. The correct form of many German words ending in -ss is to use the symbol ß. The chapter provides the Russian and Greek alphabets with their capitals, small letters and English equivalents. Most chemical names in Russian are very similar to their Western equivalents, once transliteration from the Cyrillic alphabet has been applied.
