\u00a0There are many free online dictionaries that you can use to look up words. They are not like conventional paper dictionaries that require knowing the root to look up words; you just type the word and find the meaning.<\/p>\n
\u00a0You can use Google translate (http:\/\/translate.google.com\/<\/a> ) for both words and phrases. Please note that it is not very accurate thought. You can also use the same tool to convert English letters into Arabic, e.g. if you type marhaba, it can give you the Arabic (\u0645\u0631\u062d\u0628\u0627).<\/p>\n \u00a0There are other websites and webtools, e.g.<\/p>\n \u00a0http:\/\/www.ectaco.co.uk\/English-Arabic-Dictionary\/<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0http:\/\/www.ectaco.co.uk\/Arabic-English-Dictionary\/<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0The website below gives you the Arabic alphabet to type your word, and then gives you the option to look it up through various web dictionaries.<\/p>\n
