WebDicty is a free multilingual dictionary on the web. It has preconfigured a number of on-line Web dictionaries for Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, Catalan, Basque, Portuguese and Dutch including definition and translation dictionaries.

WebDicty does not have a list of words or a local dictionary. Instead, it relies on the freely available dictionaries on the web. Every time you type a word to look it up, WebDicty connects to the selected webpage, gets the answer, filters it an processes it so that is easy to read, removing embedded or pop-up ads. So it is basically a browser of preset pages (the dictionaries) with internal filters to remove the unwanted information. You can also open the actual webpage in your browser from within WebDicty by clicking on the browser button (the world icon).
