Translators who translate from English into French in the field of retailing are fortunate since they can dispose of Jeanne Dancette's and Christophe Rethore's (2000) Dictionnaire analytique de la distribution. Analytical dictionary of retailing, Les Presses de l'Universite de Montreal. In this review article we intend to convince the reader of the qualities of this terminological dictionary, the content of which is based on an intelligent analysis of the needs of potential users: translators. We will relate our analysis to the discussion of the similarly remarkable Dictionnaire d'apprentissage du francais des affaires (DAFA) (2000) by Jean Binon, Serge Verlinde, Jan Van Dijck and Ann Bertels, a learner's dictionary aimed at those who want to learn business French.
