All Known English/Norwegian (Bokmål) Dictionaries

Note: Prices were correct November 2013 but may change with the fluctuating exchange rate.
Not all dictionaries are both Norwegian-English and English-Norwegian. Some American
editions from the 1990s and earlier by well-respected editors are no longer available except
as used copies from Amazon. They are not up-to-date with current usage and it is very
unlikely that another editor will revise them. Dictionaries published outside Norway are
intended for English speakers with tables of irregular Norwegian words while those from
Norway are intended for Norwegian speakers with tables of irregular English words.
However, the latter are mostly up-to-date with slang, technical words and current usage
and therefore much more useful. Noun gender is usually given only in Norwegian-English
dictionaries; Norwegian-only definition dictionaries give noun gender and conjugation of
nouns, verbs and adjectives. There are some specialist dictionaries (not all listed here) that
cover the vocabulary used in chemistry, electronics, finance, forestry, law, medicine,
military, technology or transport. Kunnskapsforlaget (with the largest range of
dictionaries) is the Norwegian equivalent of Oxford University Press; the Blå Ordbok and
Stor Ordbok series are the most comprehensive and up-to-date available.
Except for Berlitz and Langenscheidt books, it's unlikely you will find the dictionaries in
local bookshops. Most dictionaries currently in print are available from: Grant & Cutler at
Foyles, 113-119 Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0EB; 020 7440 3248; order online at
<http://www.grantandcutler.com/books/section/NG5AA>. Books published in Norway
are available at Norli bookshop in Oslo with branches in other cities
<http://www.norli.no> but may be cheaper online (even with the extra postage) from
<http://www.bokkilden.no/SamboWeb/superSokLinkTil.do>; searching by ISBN
number or title and author is quickest, or use key words like norsk and ordbok. Click on
'Din side' to register your customer details and start placing your order. As the exchange
rate fluctuates, it's best to monitor the standard rate (not tourist rate) at your bank's web
site over a period of a few weeks and order on a day when the rate is more favourable.
Delivery to the UK is NOK 200 per order.

This is an online translator for many languages including Norwegian. It translates text, not
just words, from English to Norwegian and Norwegian to English. Unlike many online
translators, it is quite good at getting the correct word in context and translations can be
checked by reviewers. I have found that it translates really obscure words not in my
comprehensive dictionary.</P>

Ultralingua Norwegian-English

Publisher: http://www.ultralingua.com
Something a little different from the rest, Ultralingua is a dictionary for Mac computers (it's
available for other platforms but not in Norwegian). For those of us who spend more time
with a keyboard than a pen, this is the easiest dictionary to use. There are a few
annoyances such as the collation sequence for the Norwegian entries being incorrect (å is
listed with a), pronunciations being given only for the English words and, in common with
most other dictionaries, the genders being given only against the Norwegian heading. One
key advantage is that having looked up a word, translations can be clicked to perform the
reverse look up, useful to decide which of several alternatives is the most appropriate. The
dictionary has support for speech output, which is brilliant - but only as comedy!

Secondary school Norwegian dictionary with etymology. declensions/
conjugations, definitions, synonyms, grammar summary, abbreviations;
some verbs have more than one conjugation, eg irregular when intransitive, regular group
2 when transitive, but the dictionary doesn't always explain which is which. Nynorsk
edition also available.
Richard West-Soley: I use this school dictionary as my main Nor > Eng homework
dictionary now - it's so useful with the extra conjugation / declension info, and it also gives
you that extra practice in that the definition is given in Norwegian too.
