Can anyone recommend a good english to arabic translation dictionary?

Obviously it needs to have the arabic words written in english. I've tried some online translators but it gives the translation in arabic writing. I'm posting here because I'm going to Morocco soon and thought some of my YA friends might know of a good one.Can anyone recommend a good english to arabic translation dictionary?
If you want to study the Moroccan dialect a bit contact me. I have some cds I can copy for you...but you'd proabably want the book that goes with them: http://www.amazon.com/Moroccan-Georgetow鈥?/a> . And although I think the best way to understand the pronunciation is with Arabic script this book is written in latin characters.........



****The best phrase to learn is "wesh emrick m'chef mra?!"

"What, have you never seen a woman before????"

I don't think I wrote the transliteration very well....but anyway, u need to know that the street in Morocco is a public place and therefore your 'privacy' doesn't really exist there. So ppl STARE A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!! we think it is rude...to them it is normal.*****



I also have another book, though a bit outdated....it is still good since you will be there a couple of months....Culture Shock: Morocco...http://www.amazon.com/Culture-Shock-Moro鈥?/a>



I also suggest getting a French phrase book or memorizing some French phrases....and then mixing that with a bit of Moroccan Arabic...or Standard Arabic........

Moroccan Arabic phrase book: http://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Planet-Moro鈥?/a> (I never used it so I don't know if it's good--I had one from France) %26amp; I have a knack for languages, so I pick things up quickly.



EDIT: my suggestion for learning kitchen and cooking terms would be to make a spreadsheet with photos of items and then the term in Moroccan Arabic next to it..include some numbers etc...you can post it in the kitchen and refer back to it when needed...you might also want to laminate it. I can help you more with specific terms by email after my summer finals next week ...
