A bilingual dictionary or translation dictionary is a specialized dictionary used to translate words or phrases from one language to another.

Bilingual dictionaries can be unidirectional, meaning that they list the meanings of words of one language in another, or can be , allowing translation to and from both languages.

Bidirectional bilingual dictionaries usually consist of two sections, each listing words and phrases of one language alphabetically along with their translation.

In addition to the translation, a bilingual dictionary usually indicates the part of speech, gender, verb type, declension model and other grammatical clues to help a non-native speaker use the word.

Other features sometimes present in bilingual dictionaries are lists of phrases, usage and style guides, verb tables, maps and grammar references.

In contrast to the bilingual dictionary, a monolingual dictionary defines words and phrases instead of translating them.

Spanish—also called Castilian—is a Romance language that originated in the Castile region of Spain, with hundreds of millions of native speakers around the world.

It is usually considered the world's second-most spoken native language after Mandarin Chinese.

English is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now the global lingua franca.

Named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that migrated to England, it ultimately derives its name from the Anglia (Angeln) peninsula in the Baltic Sea.

It is most closely related to the Frisian languages, although its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages in the early medieval period, and later by Romance languages, particularly French.

English is either the official language or one of the official languages in almost 60 sovereign states.

It is the most commonly spoken language in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and is widely spoken in some areas of the Caribbean, Africa, and South Asia.

It is the third most common native language in the world, after Mandarin and Spanish.

It is the most widely learned second language and an official language of the United Nations, of the European Union, and of many other world and regional international organisations.

It is the most widely spoken Germanic language, accounting for at least 70% of speakers of this Indo-European branch.

In linguistics, a word is the smallest element that can be uttered in isolation with semantic or pragmatic content (with literal or practical meaning).

This contrasts deeply with a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning but will not necessarily stand on its own.

A word may consist of a single morpheme (for example: oh!, rock, red, quick, run, expect), or several (rocks, redness, quickly, running, unexpected), whereas a morpheme may not be able to stand on its own as a word (in the words just mentioned, these are -s, -ness, -ly, -ing, un-, -ed).

Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text.

While interpreting—the facilitating of oral or sign-language communication between users of different languages—antedates writing, translation began only after the appearance of written literature.

There exist partial translations of the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh (ca.

2000 BCE) into Southwest Asian languages of the second millennium BCE.
