I've known dictionaries which don't work much better: they have a list of translations of a given word, but without any indication of lexical field or such. For instance, for

Schlange

it would tell you

Queue, snake

and that's it. :

Still, I agree that trying to use a proper dictionary would be more helpful, possibly. For an online version I recommend Leo (German / English):
