The Spanish English dictionary has been around for years, used by people who speak both languages. Look in many HS book bags to find this dictionary. For years they have been on the web too. Generally they are considered translation services. They’re better than ever before.
One of the first Internet sites to have a Spanish English dictionary was Babelfish. Many people were amazed. Even whole web sites could be translated into another language.
It was an imperfect Spanish English dictionary. Oftentimes the translations weren’t very good. Sometimes they were nonsense. Generally someone could tell that the resulting text and output via translator.
Some people considered this problem with the Spanish English dictionary to be a good thing. It was handy for a quick rewrite. Here’s how. Start with some Spanish text then turn it into English. Translate the result back to Spanish. Very often the result would be different than what was originally entered. With a little bit of editing it would be passable.
Since that time many sites have come up with a better Spanish English dictionary. Google has one. When text is entered there to be translated to a new language, the result can be processed through the service again with the same text as original being returned. It’s not a rewrite tool. Now the translation is better.
There are other sites that have a Spanish English dictionary that’s a bit more detailed in its results. It translates and provides definitions. Try the word freeway. Autopista is the translation in Spanish. Here’s the definition – a paved roadway that accommodates high speed traffic. There is a lot more for the word autopista. Equivalents go from the freeway already seen to the UK motorway. Each of these words can then be clicked so their definition can be seen. In this case they all mean generally the same thing.
The days of the book form of these handy tools are coming to an end. Online versions are easier to search, and the results can be quickly incorporated into documents written on the computer. But even in the modern world Spanish English dictionary is here to stay.
