Don’t waste your time in looking up chinese dictionaries. It is much faster and easier to use softwares with dictionary such as NJ star and Wenlin. My chinese has improved tremenduously ever since I switched over to these softwares. I spent less time in counting strokes and more time in actually learning the language. The software allows you to look up by pinying, radicals, or by hand written input with a pen mouse. With NJ star you could save a word with translation to a study list for later use. By switching over, you should be able to cut your time by at least 80%.

The ABC Dictionary is constantly highly rated, and I use it myself very happily.

The dictionary reviewed above also functions as a Chinese> English dictionary - it just happens to have the Chinese as well.
