translation dictionary

Cross-language word guide

A translation dictionary provides equivalents between languages, pairing words or phrases in one language with their counterparts in another: a Spanish-English translation dictionary.

Unlike monolingual dictionaries that define words within a single language, translation dictionaries focus on cross-linguistic correspondence, serving travelers, students, and translators.

Also called a bilingual dictionary.
