About
Collins
Collins has been making dictionaries for
over 175 years and is one of
Europe’s leading dictionary and language
publishers.
Collins dictionaries provide the sharpest snapshot of today’s languages. Collins
lexicographers are alerted the moment a new word takes its place in common
vocabulary. Their extensive and unparalleled 2.5 billion word database monitors
a constant flow of text from publications, websites and transcripts from around
the world.
This pioneering stance is upheld by Collins’ new range of resources in digital formats, enabling you to have the power of a Collins dictionary on your desktop, mobile phone or handheld – giving you the choice of how you use it. There is also a range of Collins phrasebooks and language courses for mobiles and iPods.
