I think "better" is stretching it.

None of the non-reviewed new entries are there since submitted and not reviewed only exist on WWWJDIC... and what does Translate Words give you when there isn't a matching entry? Partial matches which you could mistake for a match? Or silently skips it? Will I notice that it was skipped? If we're talking 100's of words, there's a lot of noise there, and no simple output list to work with - and you would have to go check each and every word to see if Translate Words recognized it... though granted you might want to do that anyways.

Reason I "wish" for this is that I may well have such lists available to me now. At least for a little while.

Maybe "more expedient" is the "better" word.

I'll use the Translate Words and see how it does... but this is still my wish.
