Harrap's Shorter French Dictionary

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 abridged version of Harrap's French Standard Dictionary (now Harrap's Unabridged French Dictionary, now online at Harrap's Online Archived 2008-11-20 at the Wayback Machine, sold in two volumes and last revised in March 2007[2]). The French version was last sold as Harrap's Unabridged,[3] before it was resold by Edition Larousse.

The first edition of the Shorter was published in two volumes, the French-English book in 1940 and the English-French four years later. [4] Revised editions were published in 1967, 1982, 1991, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2007. In 2009 a new edition was published under the title Chambers French Dictionary.

Rival works include the Collins-Robert French Dictionary and the Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary.
