Rambler vs. Multitran

Перейти к комментариям

Rambler and Multitran are both really good online Russian dictionaries. For the longest time I only used Multitran, but then I discovered that Rambler was also excellent. So here’s a small review of the two!

+ for both: they both handle conjugated verb forms.

www.rambler.ru
++ nice design, often LOTS of examples (when you click the word), accent, imperfect and perfect aspect given together, clear about what case to use
– you can’t just click the perfect aspect verb, you have to cut and paste it into the search field, and if you look up a perfect verb form, you are only directed to an unclickable imperfect verb

www.multitran.ru
++ has more languages, you can see the verb conjugation by clicking the verb, often has more synonyms
– ugly design, no accent marks, unclear about the aspect, no easily accessible examples, not so clear about cases

I use Rambler mainly now, however almost every time the Rambler translation doesn’t make sense, I can get a better one using Multitran!
