Can anyone recommend a good Mandari/English dictionary? I would really like one where I could look up words by Stroke Order.

I would recommend you Far East Chinese-English Dictionary. I find it very useful and I have always found everything I look for. If you decide to buy it, make sure it is the edition you want. There are two versions, i.e. simplified and traditional characters.

When i was in college, My classmate lend me some good Chinese dictionary but sadly i forgot the title of that particular dictionary. I used it when my professor asked me to create a short story written in Chinese character. I've also try some online translation site.

e.g.
paste the Chinese character and select as "gb" or big5 and submit, you can get the definition.
