Get Translations For Either Language

The Compact English-Spanish Dictionary app offers much more than your standard translations.

It even goes so far as to include a specific search for verb conjugations, feminine forms and the plurals of words.

Take Your Dictionary To The Next Level

Compact English-Spanish Dictionary is an excellent free app, but adding its upgrades takes the standard dictionary to a whole new level.
