Instant language translation website – Lingro

Posted by colinsimpson on November 28, 2007




Lingro is one of the coolest web services I’ve come across – it enables you to open a website or document in the Lingro window and then get a translation or dictionary definition of every word on the page just by clicking on them.

You can also create a wordlist of every new term that you have learnt and play a simple flashcards game to test your knowledge of the translations or definitions. The possibilities of this site are enormous.
