Free Online Russian Dictionary
English-Russian Online Dictionary is a multi-source dictionary search service owned by ABBYY, world-known developer of linguistic and artificial intelligence, famous with it document conversion and data capture technologies and products – FineReader, Flexicapture, etc.
As ABBYY company is originally Russian, the quality of Russian dictionaries is esceptional: it is one of the fullest and most up-to date Russian online dictionaries in web.
To use the dictionary, simply type a word in the search box that appears at the top of every page, pick the required direction and then click the 'Translate' button. This will perform a search for the word in the several dictionaries hosted on the site.
If you don't know how to spell the word, use "Variants" button or "Search" button. You will get a list of suggestions. You also can set custom preferences for Search (for example, to look for definition only in medical dictionary) and use it to find examples of word usage, phrases etc.
English-Russian Free Online Dictionary does not produce all the dictionaries that appear on the Web site, but simply make them available online. All dictionaries that used in www.lingvo.com are included into desktop versions of Lingvo Dictionary Software – English-Russian Dictionary, European and MultiLingual. Most of them are developed by ABBYY itself. Though desktop versions include much more than online dictionaries.
In that aspect Lingvo Online can be compared to a bookstore or library than a publisher.
The source of each entry is given immediately near the entry in question; follow the source link for information about the dictionary, including publisher contact information.
Please, remember, English-Russian Online Dictionary is a true Dictionary service, not a Translation service. This means it translates words, not texts or sentences. If you input into the search box a sentence you will receive a list of words with their translations.
