multilingual dictionary
Cross-language word reference
A multilingual dictionary provides translations and definitions across three or more languages, allowing users to look up words in one language and find equivalents in several others.
Unlike a bilingual dictionary, which handles just two languages, a multilingual dictionary serves travelers, translators, and language learners who work across multiple linguistic systems.
These may be organized with entries in one base language or structured so any language can serve as the starting point.
