Abstract
Molina explains an experiment with the use of traditional vs. electronic (CD) dictionaries in the translation of similar texts by a university group of students. After analyzing in some detail the type of mistakes the students made and telling us about their comments, she concludes that the CDs are much more appropriate for translation because they are user-friendly, up-to-date and much faster.
