Dictionary - English/German
This small English/German dictionary contains terms used within the VIAS encyclopedia. For most terms, a link to the explanation page is available (simply click on the English translation). Please note, that the translations are focused on the topics described in the encyclopedia - thus most often you will not find all possible translations of a given word (e.g. the English word square may mean Quadrat, or Platz in German, but only Quadrat is listed).
