Pretty much as the title says, I'm looking for a good online free Norwegian<->English dictionary. I used Sanakirja.org for Finnish, and they have Norwegian, but the Norwegian seems pretty slim. Good inexpensive books from Amazon are good too.

I haven't come across any good, free bilingual Norwegian dictionaries online.

There are three good monolingual online dictionaries though:

Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka:
http://www.dokpro.uio.no/ordboksoek.html

Norsk ordbok (Bokmål and Riksmål):
http://ordnett.no/ordbok.html
Norsk ordbok is free. The other dictionaries at the Ordnett.no site are not.

Dictionaries published in Norway are generally quite expensive. Einar Haugen's excellent Norwegian–English
Dictionary is among the more affordable ones; probably because it is now published in the US.

If you have an iPhone/iPod touch you might want to invest in what is regarded as
the Norwegian<->English dictionary:

mt=8">Blåordbok

It is a fantastic app and well worth the price. The actual book version, which I also
have, is about double the price of the app if I remember right.

An online free dictionary which hasn't been mentioned is
tritrans.

I am very interested by that myself, I could never find a dictionary online and the paper ordbok from Norway do not include the genre of Norwegian words.

Wiktionary Norge helped me quite a few times: http://no.wiktionary.org/
But that is not a full-fledged dictionary. :(

This isn't free, but it runs on both a Mac or a PC (I run in under Wine in Linux, no problem). It's Ultralingua - http://www.ultralingua.com/products/norwegian-products.html

It's an excellent dictionary and has everything you're looking for.
