Electronic translator (Franklin Advanced 6 Languages) Question.?

Maybe someone on here can help me. I want to buy an electronic translator, as I do several language courses and dont like carrying several heavy dictionaries around in my bag.

My main question/concern is: When translating words, does the electronic dictionary give the gender in the language you are translating to eg German: The chair- Der Stuhl.

I have been looking around online, but no website indicates whether it does or doesnt?

    If you are just concerned with dictionaries, which are not translators of connected sentences, then you could try www.wordreference.com.

    There are forums on this site also where you can get into more detailed discussions of word use, but as an online dictionary, pretty useful.
