Online Dictionaries and Translators
Finding online translation tools is becoming easier as the quality of these machine
translators steadily improves as well. There are three basic types of translation tools
available via the Internet. At the simplest level are online dictionaries, which
translate one word at a time, usually from one language to another. One step up
from online dictionaries are text translators, which translate words, phrases or
maybe a paragraph entered either by typing or by copy-and-paste. Text translators
are most useful for translating an odd or unusual word or phrase to English. The
crown jewels of Internet translation are the web page translators, which automatically
translate a web page or even an entire website. The quality of the machine
translation varies enormously from product to product (some are surprisingly good;
others are dreadful). However, most are usually good enough to let you know if the
page you're viewing is about soccer or cellular technology. And certainly if you are
dealing with languages that do not use the Latin alphabet (Russian, Chinese,
Hebrew, for example), almost any machine translation is a blessing.

There are innumerable language dictionaries now on line, most of which offer some
sort of automated look-up feature. I believe the best of the online dictionary
metadirectories is the one created at Bucknell University that has become
yourDictionary.com. This site has the most comprehensive, impressive set of links to
dictionaries I have seen.
