Designed for speakers of the seven major European languages--English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish--the Dictionary translates some 2,000 key words and phrases that are commonly used by professionals in the book or periodical trade. In a single, multilingual sequence each word or phrase can be found translated into the other six languages, with the American English equivalent where this differs from the British English terminology. The vocabulary list is current and covers all aspects of the publishing process including binding, bookselling, contracts, design, editorial, marketing, printing, production, rights, and sales.

Each lexical entry provides translations into English, example sentences, and basic grammatical information. The dictionary part is supplemented with an outline of the Ruruuli-Lunyala grammar, which treats most of the phonological and morpho-syntactic topics.
