Dictionaries and Translators
A large collection of links to online
dictionaries for about 150 languages. The authors of this page
have attempted to "place as many online dictionaries at your
disposal as possible," and as a result a few of the dictionaries
that are listed no longer exist or fail to execute searches properly.
Still, with so many dictionaries to choose from it is likely that
a language student will find a useful resource here.
