The English French Nucleus is a bi-directional database. It will give you the answers. It
is a very comprehensive English/French terminology glossary. I created this database day
after day, year after year since 1990. I constantly update, maintain, and extend it.
After installation of the executable and of the Nucleus File System on your machine, search for the following examples, or as many other as you want, you will notice that the Nucleus is a great source of information and can really support you when you create your own databases.
Each record of the Nucleus is composed of three fields of information:
the English field, the general
information field as gender, tense..., and
the French field.
