Question

Hola,

When I look up the Spanish word "balance", it takes me to the English definition of "balance". I am looking for the definition of "el balance".

Thanks

Answer 1

Just under the words balance = el balance are two tabs. One is english to spanish the other is spanish to english. Click the second one.

The second one takes you to the English...strange, but true. - mountaingirl123, Dec 30, 2010

Son is another word that this happens with. - Leatha, Dec 30, 2010

My experience does not match that of mountaingirl's or Leatha's. The two tabs are working fine for me for both words. - webdunce, Dec 30, 2010

Answer 2

Look on Wikipedia; do a search on "el balance" and you will get a thorough definition of the Spanish.

For me, the English-to-Spanish tab and the Spanish-to-English tab seem to be working fine for "balance." The Spanish tab's definitions also agree with another website's definition of el balance. Son's two tabs also seem to be fine. - webdunce, Dec 30, 2010

I must say, though, the tabs thing really confused me for a long time. - webdunce, Dec 30, 2010
