Logos Dictionary is a multilingual online dictionary provided by Logos Group, a European translation company. It was founded in 1995 by Rodrigo Vergara,[1] and was one of the first and largest multilingual dictionaries on the web. In 1996, it was made freely accessible on the Web, and had over a thousand translators contributing to over a million entries.[2] At the time, it was described by translator Robert Clark as the fastest growing dictionary.[3][4] As of 2005 it contained over seven million terms in over 200 languages, some of them minority languages as Breton, Leonese, Scots or Venetian.
The dictionary offers a variety of search options, and requires free registration in order to add or update translations.[5] It includes a multilingual portal for using the dictionary, [6] a Linguistic Resources database of over 500 glossaries, a Universal Conjugator database for conjugation of verbs,[7] and a children's dictionary with multilingual usage examples.[8][9]
