Resumen
This diploma paper deals with the design and building of a bilingual lexicon app for
studying and translating texts on sociocultural topics. The entries for the bilingual
lexicon app have been extracted from texts of socio cultural topics taken from Encarta
Encyclopedia 2009 and have been built using information from several dictionaries. The
main objective of the bilingual lexicon app is to facilitate the translation process for thirdyear
English Language students at the Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas
so that they can use the bilingual lexicon app both as a reference resource and as a
study aid for the learning of bilingual lexis useful for sociocultural topics. The bilingual
lexicon app proposed is described in detail in the present diploma paper and its
linguistic, didactic and reference characteristics are described.
