requirements for enhancing English language skills
for users who are not fluent in English . Dictionaries
are becoming popular as a means for interactive
communication between languages. Dictionaries, and
language professionals, in general, have long claimed that
dictionaries are deficient, especially regarding accessing

language professionals do not receive proper training
in dictionary use, and due to those deficiencies, they
do not fully benefit from them. Electronic dictionaries

dictionaries, that could meet users’ needs efficiently. So,
this review, it’s discusses the features of the dictionaries
with a comparison to existing dictionaries. Finally, its
state the features that should be added to those existing
ones to become a smart bilingual dictionary. | en_US |
