Reverso: Why just translate when you can also conjugate?

Reverso
There are plenty of web services that will let you translate chunks of text from one language to another. And Reverso is certainly one of them. But Reverso has a few tricks up its sleeve that you won't find in Google Translate, Windows Live Translator, or Babel Fish.

Near the top of the Reverso web page are four tabs: Translation, Dictionary, Conjugator, and More. The translation tool does a decent job of translating text to and from several languages: English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. But if you click on the Dictionary tab, you can enter a word, choose a dictionary, and get a more precise definition. And if you click on the conjugate tab, you can practice conjugating your verbs in the language of your choice.

Unlike many other popular web translation services, Reverso does not offer a way to translate entire web pages online. But Windows users can purchase Reverso's desktop application that offers this feature. Or you could, you know, use another service if and when you want to translate complete pages.
