International Lace Dictionary by Edith Spee
The best way to think of this book is as a thesaurus.

• ​Identify the term you want to translate. 
  
• You then look this up in the alphabetical section for that language.
• When you find the term, there will be number associated with the term.
• You turn to the front of the book and look up the number.
• This then gives you that term in all the languages of the dictionary.

What works well?

• The book covers English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Danish.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?​

• This book is out of print and very rarely comes up on second hand sites or eBay.
