Summary/Abstract: In the digital age, multilingual dictionaries have a continuous, dynamic development and become indispensable for the virtual environment. The incredible evolution of electronic means of communication and the need for rapid transmission of information by eliminating language barriers have led to the emergence of a new phase of lexicography and the process of making multilingual dictionaries. In the digital environment the usefulness of dictionaries has increased. They contribute to the creation of multilingual corpora of different types (such as WordNet, BabelNet, Wikipedia, or others) or have become indispensable to the Internet user to provide the required information. The virtual user has to use a multilingual dictionary, even if he is not aware of it, and through these tools he can benefit in the desired information regardless of the language in which it was primarily written.
