Summary/Abstract: The development of bilingual dictionaries is a very complex activity that highlights three areas of expertise: lexicography, terminology and translation. This category of dictionaries requires command of the general language and more. An in-depth knowledge of the terms (surnames) is, within the field of terminology, a real link between lexicography and translation. A lexicographic only analysis can cause translation errors in the construction of this tool. That is why synergy between these three levels of competence remains a prerequisite. Translation is therefore a necessity for the development of bilingual dictionaries.
