After using Jim Breen's WWWJDIC to translate word by word for years,
I just discovered the "Text Word Translation" function:

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?9T

Does exactly what you (and I) want. Really cool. I wonder how long
it's been there?

And for really, really cool, check the "hidden translations" box.

Check it out!

And Jim, if you're reading, many, many thanks!
