Would like to recommend the LEO website for translation of single
words or short phrases. URL is: http://dict.leo.org/
Available are German<>English, German<>French and German<>Spanish
translations. If one clicks on the phrase "English version" (upper
left quadrant), instructions and explanations will be shown in
English. So far, this is the best translation engine that i have
found!
