Abstract: The paper focuses on the treatment of noun-to-verb conversion in English-Estonian and Estonian dictionaries. Because conversion is highly productive in English, it may pose some difficulty for compilers of bilingual dictionaries. It is argued that there is considerable room for lexical enrichment of bilingual dictionaries with regard to both inclusion of conversion verbs and the choice of translation equivalents. From the perspective of Estonian one has to take into account the possibility that an English converse verb could be rendered by means of conversion, suffixation, or a multi-word equivalent. The established equivalents can be used for the enhancement of symmetry between English - language X and language X - English dictionaries.
