English to French translation

Visual online dictionaries

November 30, 2007

Transblawg and Language Hat both mention an interesting new resource: the Merriam-Webster visual dictionary online. A similar tool exists in French: the Dictionnaire visuel. It's actually bilingual (English and French), which is very handy. What really tickled me is that in the "Human body" section of the French site, the people are naked, whereas on the Merriam-Webster, they wear underwear... so men have a pubis and a groin, but no penis or scrotum, while women have breasts, but no nipples. Puritanical, you say?

Brilliant ! Ican't believe it's free ! Thanks for the link (I had to do this translation about locomotives yesterday, if only I had known !).
