Arabic-English Dictionary

Arabic-English Dictionary is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you translate words from English into Arabic or vice versa.

Simple design

The dictionary reveals a plain user interface that allows you to carry out all tasks using minimal effort. A help manual is not included in the package but you can decode the program’s settings on your own because they are intuitive.

Translation options

Arabic-English Dictionary gives you the possibility to input the word that you want to search for in English or Arabic. The tool is able to automatically show the translated word in case you enable the ‘Auto search’ mode.
What’s more, you are allowed to type in the word directly in the main panel or paste it from the clipboard, and clear the working environment.
We have tested Arabic-English Dictionary on Windows 8.1 Pro and come across several bugs. The search process is slow and ‘Clear’ function does not work properly. Bugs are a consequence of the fact that the application hasn’t been updated for a long time. The tool eats up from minimal up to moderate amount of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Final words

All in all, Arabic-English Dictionary disappoints in terms of design and functionality. The tool needs several improvements, starting with an upgraded search engine and a thorough database with English and Arabic words. There’s no support for advanced features that could help you create a list with favorite words, copy the translations to the clipboard, view synonyms, examples and grammatical info, and translate entire sentences, just to name a few suggestions.
