I am a big fan of the Memsoure mobile app so far and I want to try to integrate some kind of dictionary into its termbase so that I can see a wide range of suggested translations for each word. Memsource has machine translation in the app and allows a termbase, but doesn't provide a Multiterm tool or a built-in dictionary like Trados, for example.

My question is, what would be the most standard, easy way to get such a dictionary? It does not seem so far like there is any clear one-s

I am a big fan of the Memsoure mobile app so far and I want to try to integrate some kind of dictionary into its termbase so that I can see a wide range of suggested translations for each word. Memsource has machine translation in the app and allows a termbase, but doesn't provide a Multiterm tool or a built-in dictionary like Trados, for example.

My question is, what would be the most standard, easy way to get such a dictionary? It does not seem so far like there is any clear one-stop shop for all your electronic dictionary needs. There might be some open source projects like free-dict, but I don't know if the dictionaries are that extensive. Linguee is a cool modern tool, but it's not easy to download as a TBX file, even if it may ultimately be possible.

The only thing I can think of is trying to export a Trados Multiterm termbase as a TBX file and upload it into Memsource. I don't know if this will work, but I'll try it.

If not that, does anyone have a suggestiong for an easiest, best way to get a really ample, deep dictionary as a TBX file? (In my case, Swedish -> English.)

Thanks very much,
Julius
