A couple of years back, someone gave a link to an online Italian dictionary: You set it up so that by simply typing in "ie Englishword" you get a pretty decent Italian translation of that word.

I had it set up on my old laptop, but can't now seem to locate it, and I miss it!

Paolo, will that work only for Firefox users? What about IE6?

Doru, I fear it is a Firefox only feature.

I like www.wordreference.com. It has a lot of nice features like, ability to pronounce the word and the ability to conjugate verbs. Also all you need to do is to get close to the spelling of a word and it will present you with a list of the possible words that fit your poor spelling. Very useful feature for me. Smile

Agree! With that in one tab and [URL=Babel Fish]http://babelfish.altavista.com/[/URL] in another, I can usually get by. ---Marlene

I agree. I have it on my toolbar and use it at least once a day. It is excellent and easy to use.

Wordreference has super useful features including a very very interesting forum with people giving really valid help, but the translations are not very accurate.. so do not rely on that if you're reading something really important!
My frist choice is always the Hoepli on-line.

Thanks for the reference. It's always nice to have. Now, if only someone would make a word-reference-like capability for a handheld. ---Marlene
