Title: Google unveils dedicated dictionary site Post by: Alex on December 05, 2009, 10:51:13 AM Google unveils dedicated dictionary site
One part of Google's search engine that many use quite regularly is the define:term aspect. This, as you can see, will define the term entered for the user. Now, Google's extended this by creating a dedicated dictionary portion of their site, compatible with a range of languages. According to the LA Times, this new dictionary service pulls descriptions of words from a number of places, and even provides definitions from Wikipedia. This adds to Google's own database of word definitions, which is perfectly capable just by itself. As Mashable notes, the service has 28 different languages listed, which include English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Czech, and even Dutch, just to name a portion of them.
