translation dictionary
a dictionary that translates words from one language to another, as a bilingual dictionary; or to several languages, as a multilingual dictionary.

Multilingual dictionaries tend to show translations into multiple languages across a two-page spread.
an online application, like Dictionary.com Translator, can provide immediate translations of a search term, a sentence, or a short passage of text to and from one or several languages.
