I read the announcement about the new English to Maltese dictionary online and gave it a try. I think that this is one of the greatest disservices to the Maltese language.

I typed in "kid" in English and got "tiċċajta" in Maltese (gidi); "barrel" "barmil" (bettija); "sulky" "qalbu sewda" (serkin); "pick" "pikkikkja" (fies); "osprey" "not found" (arpa); "cask" - not found; and a couple more words I can't remember.

It seems we still have to wait longer for something that is much needed.
