Dictionaries & Translators

Let's start with some interesting online dictionaries or Web Translators. Remember, it is very important the right usage of dictionaries and translators. As you know, depending on contents or contexts meanings may be different and the right definition be another.

 

Do not trust hundred per cent on translators! Why? Sometimes we spell in a wrong way the words in our mother tongue language, in the same way we do mistakes in the English one. Then, the message we get is no the required one.  They must be a tool to make your effort easier in order to get general ideas about a draft. But use the dictionary if you want to get a closer word with the right meaning you are looking for.
