According to this wikipage: http://www.spanishdict.com/answers/100036/adverbs-mente#

But I cannot find this translation anywhere else.

It does not mean "at last", but I will not be changing the wiki. Use online dictionaries for translations not Wikipedia. - Jubilado, Nov 9, 2014
Jubilado please red my question. I am talking about spanishdict.com's wiki not Wikipedia.org. The very page I linked to in my original post. My only intention with this post is to improve this site, I can not change the wiki as I lack reputation. - duo99, Nov 9, 2014

That is able to be fixed by anyone with sufficient reputation, so I changed it.

I went with every once in a while, but if anyone likes something else better, they can go and change it with a simple edit. smile

Ah yes, I see now! Please also use the feedback tab on the right of the window to report this. Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to boost this up by using the answer box and clarify by saying that it is under the third bold category:

Adverbial Expressions

and here is a live link (I hope):

Adverbs(-mente)

I hope this helps! Sorry for misunderstanding your post and thanks again for your vigilance!

Yes thankyou I know that but my question is; is "at last" also a correct translation? If not, could someone change the wiki? - duo99, Nov 9, 2014
also "from time to time" ;) - chileno, Nov 10, 2014

As Spanish native speaker and english "working speaker" i can say you that it isn´t a correct translation.

At last means "al fin" or " por fin"
