For the purpose of alternative dictionaries I would only suggest using EW Lane Lexicon as brother ZeeshanParvez has kindly given and/or Hans Wehr linked below:

They both have different compilation methods - Lane uses the root word structure and Hans uses something more akin to the Western dictionary style.

Which dictionary, or resource should be used to find plurals? Or is there a method to it which is universal across the board for any/all words? In order to use google translate by putting in the english plural, we would first need to know the definition of the arabic word in question. What do we do when the word has multiple meanings, will any of the correct meanings be acceptable? For instance, the word Fasl has many definitions.
I hope that makes sense.

In the case of multiple definitions will any do?
Answer for the time being - yes … as you are being asked single word definitions. However, when it comes to sentences you will need to consider the best meaning in the context of the sentence, inshaAllah I hope that helps.

Plurals can be sound or broken.
When a word has a sound plural it can easily be guessed. But most words have broken plurals which must be learned. You can use the EW Lane Lexicon leatha put up to find plurals.
