Techniques of reversing English-Russian scientific and technical dictionaries into Russian-English versions through semi-automated compilation are described. Sections on manual and automatic processing discuss pre- and post-editing, the task program, updater (correction of errors and revision by specialist in a given field), the system employed for the rearrangement of entry pairs into a Russian alphabetization, and the final formatter program. Also included are explanations of arrangements made for the publication of the individual computer-reversed dictionaries. Appendixes include information on dictionaries selected for reversal, a system design flowchart, examples of the text in various stages, keypunch information, meeting agenda, and a letter to the dictionaries' reviewers.
