If there is anything left in the online world that Google is not offering a service for yet chance is that they are working on exactly that service behind the scenes to release it eventually to the public. Or, if they do not develop the service chance is they buy one of the first movers in the sector to add that service to their portfolio. Google’s next service which was launched quietly sometimes earlier this week is a dictionary that is plainly called Google Dictionary.
Like most of Google’s services Google Dictionary is a free online service that can be accessed by anyone with an Internet connection. Google would not be Google on the other hand if they would not make use of some of their other web services to make Google Dictionary more than just another dictionary on the Internet.
Google Translate and Web Definitions are the two services that have been integrated into Google Dictionary. This means that Google Dictionary offers dictionaries in dozens of languages and even comes with the option to translate a word or phrase from one language into the other to lockup a definition in a language understood by the user. (e.g. if you see a word or phrase in a language that you do not understand).
Google Dictionary uses a plain design that makes it ideal for mobile use and slow Internet connections.
One interesting feature is the ability of the online dictionary to recognize words. Users might sometimes think a word belongs to a specific language when in fact it belongs to another one. Google Dictionary will display that to the user if it is the case.
Interested users can visit the Google Dictionary website.
