Re: Translation question

[Arafat Medini <lumina at silverpen dot de>]

Salam

as an online reference I am using Almisbar which is great in conjunction
with lisan al3arab. That's all!!! and the dictionary is great, I also
use my Sister which studies english at university ;) 
I for myself don't think a dictionary alone would make it BUT Almisbar
is the best dictionary I found out there.

cheers
