This is a very interesting list Med. Do you happen to know of any app to make an online dictionary? I am trying to organize an English-Spanish vocabulary list of the petroleum industry in a dynamic way. Thanks.

Thank Julio I do not know of any tool that can help you make a dictionary but this is also a good idea for me to start looking for it. I will update you in case I find any.

Hey Matthew & Med,

So far I have found 2 Dictionary Makers that I am exploring. The first one: http://www.wordsmyth.net/?mode=gm  and the other: http://www.lexiquepro.com/

I need something that

• is web-based so that my students can access everywhere.
• allows tags
• supports pictures
• allows the creation of part labels within an entry like "Idioms"
• works like a wiki so that my students can add new entries.

I am working on a bilingual dictionary made by petroleum engineering students at Universidad del Zulia, Venezuela, where I teach English for Specific Purposes.

I appreciate your help on this matter. I am sure that networking like this will give good results.

Thank you.
