This is a new generation of translation dictionary Kindle devices.
IMPORTANT: THE AMAZON SOFTWARE NOT SUPPORT the use of dictionaries in mobile phones and other devices apart from Kindle. DO NOT BUY it if you do not have a Kindle.

The Babelpoint dictionary recognises and translates all inflected verbs, adjectives and nouns (verb forms, plurals, comparatives, etc.) – for example show, shows, showing, shown. It also contains phrasal verbs such as show up, show down, show in, show out, show off. Position your Kindle cursor by a word and a small, neat pop-up panel appears at the top or bottom of the screen, displaying the possible translations. Press the ‘OK’ button to flip to a full screen that shows the entire word definition, and back to your page, instantaneously.

You can use the Babelpoint dictionary with all your English kindle books, now and in the future.

On the full screen you see the full details of each specific word. The full definition page of the dictionary is very clear and offers you: not only just translations, but also , transliterations, word forms, phrasal verbs and other relevant information. The full screen display has a really clear design so you can find the translation you want at a glance and get back to the page you’re reading.

The dictionary contains 250.000 translations and recognises about 150.000 English word forms.

Although there is a sample version of the dictionary, it doesn’t have the pop-ups or search function and so can’t show you how the dictionary works. We recommend that you get the full version – there’s no risk as you can get a refund from Amazon if you aren’t happy with it. Amazon will then remove the dictionary from your Kindle.

1. In square brackets is a guide to how to pronounce the word. It’s shown in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The Babelpoint dictionary provides this for 50,000 English and 150,000 Spanish words .

2. Each word is shown with an abbreviation for its part of speech:

abb = abbreviation
adj = adjective
adv = adverb
art = article
conj = conjunction
interj = interjection
ecl = exclamation
n = English noun
f = feminine noun
m = masculine noun
loc = phrase
v = verb
phr v = phrasal verb

3. We give you additional information for more than 50,000 words:
-For adjectives: comparatives and superlatives forms (with 'big' we show 'bigger' and 'biggest')
-For nouns: plural (with 'man' we show 'men')
-For verbs: past simple and past participle forms and phrasal verbs. Kindle’s own software can handle only single words. That means that dictionaries have to translate one word at a time. For example if you read the phrasal verb 'wait for' you will be able to select and translate either the verb 'wait' or the preposition 'for'. The Babelpoint dictionary gets around this problem by showing you all phrasal verbs as additional information, and you can click on them there to get to a translation of the whole phrasal verb.

The next screenshots show you examples of results:

'sent' is the simple past form of the verb 'send', so the Babelpoint dictionary gives you the translations of 'send'. The dictionary finds the right translation whatever form the verb appears in.

'Sounds' is the plural form of 'sound'. The dictionary can find the right translation for you automatically – you don’t have to take off the 's' and do the search yourself.

The dictionary handles the comparative (eg 'older') and superlative (eg 'oldest') forms of all adjectives. If one of the forms does not have translations, you get the translation of the main form.

The dictionary contains thousands of translations for compounds. They can be found only by browsing the dictionary (Kindle software does not currently support the look-up of compounds). Many compounds have the IPA transliteration and field of use – in this case, (Jur.), which indicates that it’s a = legal term.
