حمض الفينوكسي أسيتيك الثنائي الكلور
This is the correct translation as far as this compound is concerned. I have looked up the babylon dictionary and I do not agree with their translation which is community created content or user-generated content (which means that its credibility is questionable). I really believe that some knowledge of English and Arabic is not enough to claim proficiency and fluency let alone creating dictionaries and what can we say if the terminology in question is as complicated as chemical nomenclature.

: Dear Fahd, I appreciate your search, but, didn't you see that I've provided more than one reference, away from the one of Babylon.

Thank you. I did see them, but their reliability is not really different (in terms of linguistic approach), that is I can't say that they are the best unquestionable resources for EN>AR terminology. Actually to me Babylon is more reliable in most cases.
