The article presents some possibilities for improving dictionaries from the translator's point of view. Dictionaries, glossaries and terminology databases (recently, parallel corpora as well) are the basic tools for translators. The existinf Slovenian electronic dictionaries are based on dictionaries in book form - tha data from those books were usually transformed into computer software using the line of least resistance. However, electronic dictionaries could provide more functionality than books: full-text search, fuzzy search, terminological text analysis, corpus as a source of collocations, dynamically linked dictionary and corpus and continuous improvements of the dictionary, instead of new dictionary projcts every few decades. The Evroterm terminology database is presented as an example of practical use of the proposed improvements.
