Where to find an English word
Sunday, December 7, 2008





What do I do when I want to translate a word in Swedish to English?

There are dictionaries. But sometimes I’m not sure of the translation and sometimes I have no access to a dictionary – in the shape of a physical book.

There is a free Swedish service on Internet called Lexin. It is pretty basic and any slightly odd or strange word is unknown. And some translations are not perfect.

Wikipedia is great. I enter the Swedish Wikipedia and type the word I am looking for and from that article I can move to the English article. That gives me both translation and explanations.

Then I have a little free program called WordWeb. It cannot translate, but it can help me check if I have the right English word.

But please, give me feedback on my language.
