help About the Burmese-English-Burmese Online Dictionary
This dictionary is made for everyone who is able to read the Burmese script and needs a simple tool to understand the other language. It can be useful for students beginning to learn the Burmese language, for Burmese people living outside their home country without access to a printed dictionary, for travelers, worshipers of Burmese culture or just anyone who doesn't expect scientific accuracy or a complete vocabulary.
It is especially designed for people who don't have a computer with a Burmese keyboard.
The implementation of this dictionary was initiated by an idea to support the countless people from Burma who, as students, refugees, workers or others, are forced to live outside of their home land and often don't find it easy to communicate in English. We wanted to offer a service, which is free, which includes the possibility to type Burmese words without having a Burmese computer equipment and which also finds the right words if you are not sure about the correct English or Burmese spelling.
This dictionary is provided to you for free. We are, however, very greatful for donations of even small amounts, which help us to continue this service on a non-profit basis.

The term "Burmese" is preferred to the alternative one "Myanmar" since it makes a better distinction between the names for language and country. Also, the authors feel that official names of countries, language etc. must be legitimized by the people, not by those who are in power for the single reason that they bear the arms.
