Résumé

This paper presents the analysis of user needs and lexical usage as a preliminary study of the German-Chinese Bilingual Dictionary of Manufacturing Technology in the Automotive Industry (hereinafter: GCMA dictionary project). The project aims to develop a bilingual dictionary to facilitate specialized communication within the automotive industry, targeting Chinese engineers, students, and interpreters. The research is based on data from an online questionnaire designed for potential dictionary users. As a pilot study, it explores the usage scenarios, identifies user profiles and preferences, and evaluates existing German-Chinese dictionaries in terms of their function and microstructure. The insights from this questionnaire provide valuable guidance for the design of dictionary entries and the development of lexicographical data.
