Dictionaries needed!

[analogee]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for some English dictionaries for MAC (I am not Mac user yet, but I'm gonna buy MBP 13). I am translator, lecturer and interpreter of English, Polish and German and I'm learning Japanese. I'm looking for some:

- Polish-English/English-Polish dictionaries
- Polish-German/German-Polish dictionaries
- English collocations dictionary
- English synonyms/antonyms dictionary
- German collocations dictionary
- German synonyms/antonyms dictionary
- Polish collocations dictionary
- Polish synonyms/antonyms dictionary
- as many Polish-English/English-Polish dictionaries (technical, EU, IT, etc.)
- English-Japanese/Japanese-English dictionary

If you know any of the above stuff, please let me know. i would be very grateful. Thanks in advance,
analogee

If you do a search on macupdate.com and/or versiontracker.com you probably would find several that you can use.

There is an English built-in dictionary already installed on all new Macs. (Helpful for spelling, etymology etc)

For German, my German previous housemates love http://www.leo.org as an online tool.
For Polish, would any of the online ones do? http://www.yourdictionary.com/languages/slavic.html#polish (and for others http://www.yourdictionary.com/languages)

thanks guys for your replies. I have already heard about the monolingual dictionary installed on new macs but I need bilingual dictionaries. And I am also looking for off-line tools...
anyway, thank your for your interest

Check teacher stores. Many have an ESL or Bilingual department.
Learning Resource is one. Sundance Publishing is another.
