Abstract
This article discusses whether language resources can replace dictionaries and
whether there is a measurable quality of the texts translated and produced by
means of dictionaries or language resources, respectively. We carried out a controlled experiment involving twenty test subjects divided into two groups. One group had access to four specially selected online dictionaries and the other
group had access to online language resources. On the basis of the analysis of
the screen recordings and the texts we were not able to identify signifi cant differences in the quality of the texts translated and produced, and we conclude
that the use of dictionaries over language resources does not seem to result in
higher text quality.
