Usage notes

Japanese has a number of words that are translated in English as “dictionary”; see Japanese dictionary at Wikipedia.
辞典 is used (along with 辞書(じしょ) (jisho)) to mean “dictionary” in the English sense of “lexicon”, as well as more broadly to mean other word books such as
類語辞典(るいごじてん) (ruigo jiten): thesaurus and

文法辞典(ぶんぽうじてん) (bunpō jiten): grammar book, among others.

The reading ことばてん (kotobaten) is used for distinguishing from 事(じ)典(てん) (jiten, “encyclopaedia”) and 字(じ)典(てん) (jiten, “kanji character dictionary”).
