DIX has a new layout. These are the most relevant changes:
- The navigation is on the top
- Each dictionary has its own colors: blue (German-Spanish), green (Spanish-English), and orange (English-German, my favorite). Under "Preferences" you can always change the colors for each dictionary individually.
- You can choose the font "Verdana". This, in combination with the color blue and larger font size, is particularly helpful for people with vision impairments (many thanks to the users who taught me this!)
We have also added new forums for the German, English, and Spanish grammar.
Enjoy!

The new "m"-Symbol on the right side of each translation enables you to create your personal dictionary "myDIX". When presenting results for your query, entries in your personal list will always be shown first.
You can practice entries of your translations list anytime and observe your progress.
You can alse share your list with others - a feature probably very handy for students. For example you can create a list for a specific topic, e.g. a book-chapter, and send the list to your students or collegues. They can then practice this particular vocabulary, or make it their own list and add entries.
You can label your vocabulary and - if you are a registered user - save it on the server for use in other browsers or computers.
