Resources for financial translators

Here are main resources which I would recommend for anyone wanting to specialise in financial translation:


  • Dictionnaire de la comptabilité et de la gestion financière, Louis Ménard (third edition if you can ever get hold of it in Europe!) for French>English
  • Wörterbuch für das Bank- und Börsenwesen, Hans Zahn, for German>English 
  • The Council of Europe French-English Legal Dictionary, Frank Bridge (old but useful, the dictionary that is, not Mr Bridge, whose worth I am unable to calculate)
  • Subscription to FT.com
  • Subscription to The Economist
  • Subscription to eIFRS (my latest move), which is vital if you translate the financial statements of any company that publishes under IFRS
