Summary: a must have for French students
Comment: This dictionary is a must have for the serious French student. As a French major it was indispensable, containing idioms and indicating slang where other dictionaries fall short. Like the previous reviewer, I found it dependable in a French-only program, mine at Universite Laval in Quebec. It was originally recommended to me by a French professor.
Rating: 5
Summary: wonderfully accurate and useful
Comment: I realize that this dictionary is expensive, but it's probably the best assest you can have for your french efforts. Each word is analyzed in context of certain sentences, so if you've seen a word used a certain way, it's very, very easy to find a translation. I used this dictionary the entire way through a 7-week no-english-allowed study in France, and I never had a single false quotation.
I think that another asset is the dictionary's liberal eye towards slang, rated in terms of familiarity/vulgarity, which is entirely unavoidable when you're using the language in a French-speaking country. There is also a center section full of extremely useful phrases rated once more in terms of formality. This version has more than 550,000 translations; I think you get what you pay for in the price.
The only knocks I could give this is that there is no distinction between Quebecois and native French; certain examples: "gosses" is only given as an informal way to say "kids," however, the word's usage in Quebec means "testicles." The dictionary does succeed, however, in differentiating between British English and American English.
