Previously I wrote that one could use multitran.ru and Google Translate to translate words and texts from Russian into English and back. Here I would like to say more about dictionaries and translators.
I grew up studying English, so even before I went to the lanaguge school my father gave a big English Russian dictionary as a present. Here is what it looked like:
Словарь Мюллера
and included about 80 thousand entries.
I also had a smaller dictionary:
"Большой" англо-русский словарь
Even though it says “Большой”, and “new” is not quite a translation for this word, it had twenty thousand words and was helpful in smaller projects.
Later I used all kinds of dictionaries, but those remained my only home ones. Right now I am using New Oxford American Dictionary and I am very happy.
New Oxford American Dictionary
So, and what dictionaries are you using? PLease share stories and pictures in the comments.
