To the second type belong bilingual dictionaries, in which each entry has translations of words in another language. The third type is specialized dictionaries, which focus on a specific field of knowledge. Another one type of dictionary is a glossary, an alphabetical list of defined terms in a specialized field, such as literature or law. People can choose different dictionaries according to various needs.
