Online English-Portuguese Dictionary

This is a free, online English-Portuguese dictionary. It only works with single words, so you should be very careful, because a single word cut out of context could have several different meanings. It is apparently more geared toward European Portuguese. For example, if you try to find "dog," it will offer "cão," although "cachorro" is generally more common in Brazil.
