This is just one I use it encompasses 3-4 dictionaries together. http://www.lexilogos.com/english/greek_translation.htm Hope it helps.
I have access to the whole Greek keyboard but I still can't figure out how to add accents. Can someone help me out here?
Ok, it's really easy once you learn how.
- On the Modern Greek keyboard
- Type the ; (the key on the right of the L)
- Nothing will appear. 4 Type the vowel you want
- The vowel with the accent will appear ...ά, έ, ί etc.

I just don't know when a transliteration is requested or an actual translation. Could you please solve this issue?
We do not ask for any transliteration. In this case it is requesting the translation (the English meaning of the word) just hover you mouse over the Greek word and you will see the English.

I am at a stage in the course where I am asked to type an answer in greek. I am unable to do this as I am using an English keyboard. Am I missing something or is this a glitch ?
if you just read the posts on this page you'll find one just a little above yours with info on how to get the Greek keyboard plus some other useful information. Best wishes.
No, δάδα means a 'torch' with a flame. It looks something like the Olympic torch but much smaller.
Yes, this is a funny word but we are trying to familiarize you with the Greek letters. Since you are new here are some links to keep for reference. Do read the beginning then when you need them check out the other links further down. links
The letters in Greek have names. So, Aa/Αα is named "alpha άλφα", the letter "o/ο" is named "omikron/όμικρον". Some are really simple: "Nn/Νν" is named "nee/νι. etc.
