Lingro dictionary with a twist
Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 7:00pm

A dictionary that will help you read a web site rather than just translate it.
Here is how to use it:
- You enter a URL for the web page you want to read.
- You select a dictionary. There is an English one just in case your English needs a bit of help but, for most of us here, you would probably want the Spanish->English one.
- Click the blue arrow.
The web page you selected will be displayed. It looks just like it should. But, if you move the mouse cursor to a word and click, lingro looks up the definition of the word, translated as you had selected, and displays it in a box.
Thus, you see the whole page as it would appear but can selectively look up the words you don't understand. Thus, it will help you break free of that always useless sequence of trying to read the page looking up lots of words, getting frustrated and eventually just feeding the page through Google translate.
