Overview

What are 'false friends'? In Spanish, the word 'actual' is spelled the same as in English but has a completely different meaning. These 'false friends' share the same etymology but their historical development has diverged and today they are not synonymous. Numerous examples of these perplexing cognates are given in this Glossary to help translators in their work. Definitions of usage are given throughout. As illustrations of words that could mislead a translator, paired homonyms and words with a similar etymology are given. Also included are expressions that might confuse. This is the most up-to-date volume of its kind.
