Hello All,

I've been a fool to do this manually so far, there has to be a simple solution...
I use 3 main dictionaries on the Web (German to English):

Linguee.de
dict.leo.org
dict.cc
(maybe even the Proz term search)

Every time I'm looking for a term, I need to c&p it manually into the search box of each dictionary.
Is there a method/site/program where I only have to paste the term once and which will then search all three page... See more

Is there a method/site/program where I only have to paste the term once and which will then search all three pages automatically and show me the results (maybe even in the same window)?

I know Across has a similar function, and I think the new TRADOS as well, but I'd prefer something that is not tied to a specific application.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You could try this web page, on which you only have to type the word once:

I find it very useful.

try intelliwebsearch Jun 15, 2010

Try this freeware. Copied from their website:
"What does IntelliWebSearch do?
Pressing a convenient shortcut key combination (CTRL+ALT+B by default, but this may be changed by the user):
copies highlighted text from a Windows application (MS Word, Déjà Vu, SDLX, etc.) by simulating the copy function shortcut key combination (CTRL+C by default);
strips the text of paragraph marks, line breaks, tabs, double spaces, punctuation marks and various other superfluous charac... See more

strips the text of paragraph marks, line breaks, tabs, double spaces, punctuation marks and various other superfluous characters (customizable);
opens your default browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc.) and sends the copied text to one of up to fifty user preset search engines, on-line dictionaries or on-line encyclopaedias together with other customizable instructions which limit the search according to the advanced search options available for the engine/dictionary/encyclopaedia chosen. Alternatively it can send the same text and instructions to local dictionaries on CD-ROM or installed on your hard disk."
