Michael Kellogg “started this site in 1999 in an effort to provide free online bilingual dictionaries and tools to the world for free on the Internet. The site has grown gradually ever since to become one of the most-used online dictionaries, and the top online dictionary for its language pairs of English-Spanish, English-French, English-Italian, Spanish-French, and Spanish-Portuguese.”
