This dictionary translates only words, not expressions, and does not include all those that can be mistranslated. It translates only what are known as false friends; that is, words that appear to be identical or similar but have different meanings.
You may have come across one of the many existing false friends in a translation, conversation or e-mail in English, or perhaps when writing an essay, reading an article or watching your favourite TV series.

fake news: false news stories, often of a sensational nature, created to be widely shared online for the purpose of generating ad revenue via web traffic or discrediting a public figure, political movement, company, etc.
This is a list of false cognates and false friends between Spanish and English. They therefore look similar but respectively either they do not actually come from the same root or they have different meanings, despite their similarities. The following translations are not exhaustive of all possible definitions, but only the most common ones.
Not surprisingly, Mountweazels, whether set as traps or slipped in as hoaxes, are irresistible to lexographical sleuths and word nerds like Williams, who avidly ferret out these purposeful falsehoods. They play a key role in The Liar's Dictionary, which extends the fun of Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary and the game of Fictionary beyond fake definitions of real words to made-up words and definitions. More seriously, Williams's novel raises questions about the instability of language, how words gain currency, and whether fake words are any less real than actual words.
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that looks or sounds similar to a word in a given language, but differs significantly in meaning. Examples of false friends include English embarrassed and Spanish embarazada 'pregnant'; English parents versus Portuguese parentes and Italian parenti (both meaning 'relatives'); English demand and French demander 'ask'; and English gift, German Gift 'poison', and Norwegian gift 'married'.
As well as producing completely false friends, the use of loanwords often results in the use of a word in a restricted context, which may then develop new meanings not found in the original language. For example, angst means 'fear' in a general sense (as well as 'anxiety') in German, but when it was borrowed into English in the context of psychology, its meaning was restricted to a particular type of fear described as "a neurotic feeling of anxiety and depression".[1] Also, gymnasium meant both 'a place of education' and 'a place for exercise' in Latin, but its meaning became restricted to the former in German and to the latter in English, making the expressions into false friends in those languages as well as in Ancient Greek, where it started out as 'a place for naked exercise'.[2]
False friends are bilingual homophones or bilingual homographs,[3] i.e., words in two or more languages that look similar (homographs) or sound similar (homophones), but differ significantly in meaning.[3][4]
The word friend itself has cognates in the other Germanic languages; but the Scandinavian ones (like Swedish frnde, Danish frnde) predominantly mean 'relative'. The original Proto-Germanic word meant simply 'someone whom one cares for' and could therefore refer to both a friend and a relative, but lost various degrees of the 'friend' sense in Scandinavian languages, while it mostly lost the sense of 'relative' in English (the plural friends is still, rarely, used for "kinsfolk", as in the Scottish proverb Friends agree best at a distance, quoted in 1721).
They smile, they tell you they're your friend, but when you turn your back, they're not. Fake friends can range from someone who merely gossips about your more intimate information when you are not around to someone who undermines you in some aspect of your life. Career, relationships and other friendships are three of the main things that fake friends can sabotage for you if you're unaware. Here are some signs that you may have a fake friend in your midst, and here are some things you can do about it:
They Complain about Everyone
One way to spot a fake friend is by their choice of conversation topic. If you have a friend who is constantly putting everyone around them down, this is a likely candidate. It's easy to feel like an important friend and confidante to someone who is putting everyone around them down. However, it's also likely they're saying things about you when you turn away, too. The more intimate the details that they share about others, the less likely your secrets are safe with them. Be warned.
They Justify Others' Bad Behavior
Another sign of a fake friend is someone who justifies the bad behavior of others when it comes to someone else deserving it. If they help hatch scheming revenge scenarios and help others to justify nasty actions, it's likely they have some fake friend in them. Don't make them mad. Revenge won't be kind.
They are Fake to Others
The biggest sign of a fake friend is the way that someone treats others when their backs are turned. From cruel mocking to petty theft to sabotage, these people have no boundaries when it comes to the way they will treat someone when they think they're not looking. And they likely get a rise out of it. The reason why may be different depending on the other person, but the most dangerous fake friends are the ones who are destroying others out of sheer boredom.
What to Do
Once fake friends are identified, the next step is to try and distance yourself from them. If you don't want to become a target, the best way to back away is slowly and with a smile. Find other, more trustworthy friends and spend more time with them. Keep your secrets quiet, and don't divulge information to this person, other than something you'd be comfortable sharing with a room of strangers. Don't follow his or her lead when it comes to mocking or complaining about others. Find places to go where this person doesn't spend time, so you don't have to worry about them on your free time. Keep your personal integrity high, don't start a war. Simply move on, and let them move on, too.
In a recent interview, Trump even claimed to have invented it: "The media is really, the word, one of the greatest of all terms I've come up with, is 'fake,'" he told Mike Huckabee on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. "I guess other people have used it perhaps over the years but I've never noticed it. And it's a shame."
Collins Dictionary acknowledged the U.S. president popularized "fake news" over the past year, but said it first started to be used on U.S. television in the noughties. American dictionary Merriam Webster estimates the term's etymological roots go back to the 19th century, citing headlines using the expression as early as 1890.
Just as people can cheat, trick, and fool us in life, so can false friends in languages! Never assume two words in English and Spanish have the same meaning. You should always double check in the dictionary to make sure.
Nearly two centuries later, at a time when truth is increasingly undervalued and American exceptionalism is widely embraced, the dictionary takes on fresh significance. Words, like the dictionaries that define them, have little intrinsic meaning. Those in power can wield them as an instrument for untruthful, or even tyrannical, ends. In a time of fake news and alternative facts, the usage of even simple words can serve to ensnare the listener rather than to educate him.
Sometimes people dream of the text messages which are full of words and neatly written. If you dream of a neatly written text message in an envelope (which is not sealed) this shows that you need to relax more. You must congratulate yourself you are unmarried person. If you have seen a text message on a mobile phone this could be a warning in life, please be careful with associates or fake friends, as there may be sudden endings of lifelong relationship in waking life.
Text messaging in life is extremely popular. Sometimes we send hundreds of texts a day. To dream your lover texted you on the phone suggests a love relationship. If your friend text you in the dream someone is going to check your intentions. A text message sent via an electronic device: ipad, iphone, smartphone or a mobile phone then others are going to support you in a difficult in life. You may discover that someone will frantically try to raise your expectations. To dream of sending text messages indicates that you need to get fit - maybe go to the gym more regularly. In the age of obesity, it is a sign that we need to be more active in life and this dream shows that by sending the text message it is a communication from spirit to take care of yourself - through diet or emotionally. If you dream a text message was written down on paper you will meet someone who will light up your life. If the writing is coloured then this indicates happy times. Color writing in dreams is associated with the things we love such as friends, wealth, love. To win a prize via text message in your dream suggests that family and friends will be supportive.
Phishing is when a hacker posing as a trustworthy party sends you a fraudulent email, hoping you will reveal your personal information voluntarily. Sometimes they lead you to fake "reset your password" screens; other times, the links install malicious code on your device. We highlight several examples on the OneLogin blog.
