Dictionary Lists: A Selection of Internet Dictionary Resources

Thank you so much, David: this list is particularly precious to me as a
translator. May I add one I often use?

<http://www.logos.it>

and in particular

- dicologos word translation tool, <www.dicologos.org>,

- Wordtheque where you can see the words in context

<http://www.wordtheque.com/index_en.html>

Languages covered according to the home page:

English - German - French - Italian - Spanish - Catalan - Basque -
Galician - Russian - Greek

but not for every word when you use dicologos, and then for some words
you get translations in other languages too, because dicologos is
interactive.

about us page

<http://www.logos.net/index.html>

is about logos.it as a translation company.

Messy and incomplete description, sorry: but their page setting just
beats my efforts to produce a meaningful copy-paste*.

But for translators, it's a great tool.

cheers

Claude

"upload images" in your browser - why should they do that?). Source code
