2. Current situation
The majority of (lexicographical) resources currently available are of little use to translators and therefore many are obliged to resort to the creation of their own terminological resources.
(Isabel Durán Muñoz, eLexicography in the 21st century, October 2009)

6. Conclusions (I. Durán) Translators undoubtedly need:
linguistic information (definitions, equivalents, collocations, context, acronyms, etc.)
Pragmatic information (cultural differences, tips of use, domain specification, etc.)
The rest is desirable but not essential (semantic information).
Easy and quick access to online resources.
Time-consuming checking many different resources.
Good and concrete definitions.
