The Chinese-English Dictionary of Civil Engineering, compiled by The CJK Dictionary Institute (CJKI) in Japan, is the only application on any mobile platform that provides comprehensive coverage of civil engineering terminology.

Do you know how to say "damping capacity" in Simplified Chinese? With this application, you can immediately find the equivalent of 「减震能力」.

At home, at work and on the go, translators, students, and professionals of information technology will often encounter technical terms related to civil engineering including building materials, soil, paints and the like for which they need to quickly lookup their Chinese or English translations.

The Chinese-English Dictionary of Civil Engineering, compiled by The CJK Dictionary Institute (CJKI) in Japan, is the only application on any mobile platform that provides comprehensive coverage of civil engineering terminology. This application, which provides a user interface in both Simplified Chinese and English, includes both English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionaries that provide access to a total of approximately 54,000 technical terms.

While several Chinese-English general vocabulary dictionaries are available for the iPhone, there are few specialized dictionaries that meet the specific needs of professionals, translators and civil engineering students, while those that are available are prohibitively expensive and of limited coverage. With this application, you get a database of technical terms with extensive coverage at your fingertips for a reasonable price.

Please note: This app contains translation equivalents for each term, not explanations of each terms meaning.
