Lingro.com - A Multilingual Dictionary

So you want to be a globetrotting polyglot who can order wine and cheese in five languages? If, like many people, you haven’t got the cash to go study abroad or to hire a private tutor, you may do well to check out Lingro, a very cool, multilingual Ajax dictionary. Besides the hipness factor, the folks over at Lingro staunchly believe that knowledge should be free and accessible to everyone, so you won’t go broke using Lingro.

Currently only a handful of languages are supported: French, Polish, Spanish, German and Italian. More dictionaries are on the way however. There are several tools available. One is the website viewer; to use it, simply type in the URL of whatever website you’re reading and you’ll be able to click on any word to get a translation. Once you’ve translated a word, you can add it to your history for later viewing. From there, you can study your lists using Lingro’s handy flash card games. There’s also a bookmarklet so you can open any site using Lingro with one click. As soon as you’ve mastered a language, do contribute by adding/editing definitions to Lingro’s community dictionaries.
