A new feather of success gets attached to the colorful hat of Google as the company has brought to the fore a new device. Well, it is nothing other than an online dictionary providing meaning of words in two dozen languages. However the same is not only poised but truly awe-inspiring as well. A number of visits to the Google Dictionary service at google.com/dictionary already have made the visitors acquainted with a clean, simple Web page with a box for selecting languages from a drop-down list and a second box for typing in words to be defined.

To cut a long story short, the dictionary service offers definitions of words in 28 languages can also to translate terms from or into English. Even if Google\'s endeavor to confront Wikipedia via its Knol offering has been a dismal failure, there is hardly any doubt that this is a tool that could put heaps of other properties like dictionary.com and answers.com out of place.

Apart from providing a really uncluttered interface, the extensive translation tools are quite useful. While Google Translate is positive for passages or entire sites, time and again ELL students simply need to clarify a single word; Google Dictionary fills the bill.
