Sorry, but Google didn't work too well for me. And this is the only board I frequent that remotely relates to this kind of thing.

So, what's your opinion? I know of Babelfish, but aside from that? I'm looking for more of a word by word dictionary than the translation that Babelfish seems to do.

I'm reading some papers in Spanish online and need to look up words.

Any help appreciated. Laughing

Thanks for the reply!

Technically, I'm looking for more of a real dictionary. Instead of enter one word, it spits out one word like Babelfish or dictionary.com.

http://engdic.daum.net/ if you can read it... just for Spanish instead of Korean. I know it's out there somewhere!

I think the site she provided is about as good as it will get especially for one word translations that you mentioned. Remember too, that most of these translations are based on Castillian Spanish, which is different anyway.

There are NO decent online Spanish-English dictionaries. They all operate at a very rudimentary level.
