How to create a useful dictionary with Google Translate and learn new words while traveling
Whether you are traveling or even starting a new chapter of our lives in a foreign country, you encounter many new words during the day. To make sense out of them, you put them into Google Translate. Whether you get lost in the city, subway, groceries or documents, Google Translate is an amazing help in times of need.
What a waste would it be to just forget all these words and Google translate them over and over again!
Instead, you can learn these words and have a more fulfilling feeling with the list of words always at hand and gradually also in your vocabulary.
This tutorial has 2 steps to follow through:
- creating a Word list in Google Translate
- importing the Word list into the Flashcard app Vocabulary Miner in order to learn them
How to create a Word list of translated words with Google Translate
- Go to https://translate.google.com
- Log in to your Google account since you need to save the words in it
- Choose the languages: Type in a word or phrase you want to translate, choose its language, then choose also the language of translation
- Click on the star in the right corner of the right translation box and it should turn yellow — you just saved your word
5. Create the entire Word list and click on the star icon in the circle — you can now see all the saved words

What can you do with the list that appears on the right?
- searching within the list (“magnifying glass icon”)
- sorting the list by date or alphabetically (“sort”)
- exporting to Google Sheets (“spreadsheet icon”)
