Elhuyar, together with the British publisher Collins, has published the Euskera-English dictionary Collins Elhuyar Basque English Dictionary. The dictionary is the result of the collaboration between both institutions, and aims to offer Basques a resource to learn English without bridges, so that Basque students do not have to resort to Spanish-English or French-English dictionaries.

The English-Euskara and Euskera-Inglés area comprises 64,270 dictionary units, with 86,150 acceptances and 21,400 examples. It also includes a grammatical annex in both English and Basque.
