Hello Mery,

Good question! I think one of the most common problems in any bilingual
dictionary is the adequacy (or inadequacy) of glosses. So many bilingual
dictionaries use simple glosses but these often do not adequately cover the
same semantic space as does the lexical entry of headword language.

Ciao,
