Features: The Selected English-Chinese and Chinese-English Dictionary, co-published by the Commercial Press and Oxford University Press, has been in print 12 times since its first edition in 1986 and has been distributed over 1 million copies domestically and worldwide, enjoying great popularity among readers. The Selected Russian-Chinese and Chinese-Russian Dictionary has also been in print 4 times since its publication in 1986. Based on the editorial experience of these two dictionaries and in line with China's current development towards all-round reform and opening-up, our press has specially launched the Selected Series of bilingual, bidirectional (foreign-Chinese, Chinese-foreign) dictionaries. In addition to the two already published, we have added Japanese, German, and French, making a total of five languages: Selected English-Chinese and Chinese-English Dictionary, Selected French-Chinese and Chinese-French Dictionary, Selected German-Chinese and Chinese-German Dictionary, Selected Japanese-Chinese and Chinese-Japanese Dictionary, and Selected Russian-Chinese and Chinese-Russian Dictionary.
When Chinese compile foreign language dictionaries, they often struggle to maintain linguistic norms, define word ranges, and reflect new linguistic phenomena. Foreign original dictionaries also have shortcomings that do not fully meet the needs of Chinese readers. To address this, this series of dictionaries pioneers a collaborative publishing approach by working with renowned foreign publishing houses in the field of lexicography. These publishers include: Oxford University Press (Hong Kong), Larousse (France), Langenscheidt (Germany), Orient Press (Japan), and Russkiy Yazyk (Russia). By adopting methods such as using newly published suitable dictionaries as blueprints or having Chinese and foreign experts review the preliminary drafts, we ensure that the word selection is precise, definitions are concise, and examples are relevant. This allows the dictionaries to align with foreign usage conventions while meeting the needs of Chinese readers.
This series of dictionaries is a practical language reference tool, suitable for both beginners and intermediate learners, as well as for administrative staff, secretaries, and professionals who need to resolve queries in their daily work. The dictionaries are compactly organized, clearly presented, and feature a portable size, making them an excellent reference tool for people of all walks of life.

In recent years, the number of overseas learners and users of Chinese has been growing, so to meet their needs, pinyin and traditional Chinese characters have been added to the Chinese definitions in most foreign-Chinese dictionaries, while traditional Chinese characters and pinyin are included in the entries of Chinese-foreign dictionaries. While bilingual, bidirectional dictionaries, which combine both foreign-Chinese and Chinese-foreign sections in one volume, are convenient—allowing users to look up foreign words in Chinese or vice versa—readers come from various fields and may have specific needs. Some may only need foreign-Chinese entries, while others may only need Chinese-foreign entries. To address this, both combined and separate volumes are available for purchase, allowing readers to choose based on their requirements.
