This is really interesting, I'll definitely give it a try. I have dictionary.com in my firefox search bar, but I didnīt know it had a translator also. Cool, because Google Translator does not offer the best results.
I didnt even know dictionary.com had a translator. When i was taking a foreign language class and had to translate some words to use for a speech or something, i always used babelfish by Altavista. I will have to try it out next time i need to translate something.
funny enough it was a post on Latin Dictionaries that brought my to this forum and seduced me to sign up. Now, I am still trying to make my way through it, and here it something I feel I can comment on. As many expatriates I do some translation jobs once in while to get some extra money. Not doing that on a regular base I rely on free online dictionaries to help me on my jobs. Dictionary.com is certainly a good source. One of my additional translation's sites is: Babylon's Free Dictionary Lookups. Not because you can trust each and every translation, but simple because of the vast database they have. They are always good for a surprise and for finding terms left out by others. Many times it is advisable to check several sources to get it right. Babylon offers beside all the "big languages" a great variety from Albanian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Swahili, and of course one of my favorites the Latin Dictionaries. So whenever you are lost, give it a try. I hope that helps, Salve, cicero

Babylon, the company that offers the resources mentioned above, now has launched LingoZ - The Online Dictionary Community, saying they are building the world's largest dictionary.
