A friend showed me a website called lingro.com It has a search box in which you enter a
link to a webpage in your target language that you want to read, then you select your language combination from a drop down list. lingro takes you to the webpage and if you come across any unknown words while you are reading you simply click on them and lingro gives you the definition. I tried it last night with Spanish - English and found it really useful as it saved me flicking back between wordreference.com and the text I was reading. Some of the languages combinations are still under development. 7 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thank you for that good link. Lingro has a nice look and feel to it. I would prefer that the little pop-up frame disappear when you move the mouse rather than having to find the little x and click on it to close. There is one advantage though, in that you can have multiple pop-ups visible at the same time. I tried it for Dutch > English. That dictionary has a good number of words but is somewhat limited, and not as complete as Google Translate. I do like the possible words it offers, and its ability to parse compounded Dutch words into words it does know. I really like its "learning" mode. It asks you to enter a translation. A pop-up window lets you enter the translation and other info as applicable such as gender, plural, category (noun, verb, etc) and usage (scientific, computer, etc). As well, you can add the word to your own personal word list. A lot of utility in a nice neat package. Thanks again for the link. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
