If a translation provider doesn’t have a dictionary’s entry for a searched word, a regular translation will be displayed.The same regular translation will be displayed if a provider doesn’t support a dictionary.

The Dictionary covers almost all English language combinations and some mixed language pairs.
The Dictionary continues to expand with new language combinations.

Dictionary mode vs. Translator mode

You can switch between Dictionary and Translator mode. If you switch from the Dictionary mode to the Translator mode using the Translator tab, the searched word will be transferred to the Translator.  The Translator will display the regular translation of the translation provider used in the Dictionary.

If you switch from Translator mode to the Dictionary mode using the Dictionary tab, the text from the Translator will be transferred to the Dictionary and shortened to 75 characters.
