Online wiktionary
Contributed by John Bennison   

http://no.wiktionary.org is a definition dictionary, not a translating one. It gives definitions in Bokmål of Bokmål words together with the useful indefinite/definite singular/plural forms of nouns and adjectives (with comparative/superlative and derived adverb) and the tenses of verbs, any alternative spelling, Nynorsk equivalent, some synonyms and the equivalent word in a few other languages.

Ultralingua Norwegian-English
Written by Joe Kelleher   

Format: Download
Publisher: ultralingua.com

Something a little different from the rest, Ultralingua is a dictionary for Mac computers (it's available for other platforms but not in Norwegian). For those of us who spend more time with a keyboard than a pen, this is the easiest dictionary to use. There are a few annoyances such as the collation sequence for the Norwegian entries being incorrect (å is listed with a), pronunciations being given only for the English words and, in common with most other dictionaries, the genders being given only against the Norwegian heading. One key advantage is that having looked up a word, translations can be clicked to perform the reverse look up, useful to decide which of several alternatives is the most appropriate. The dictionary has support for speech output, which is brilliant - but only as comedy!
