Those of you who do international or multicultural work--including
Agricola searches for items in languages other than English--might
appreciate this URL:
A Web of On-Line Dictionaries
http://www.bucknell.edu/~rbeard/diction.html
It points to about 400 dictionaries, specialized reference books,
thesauri, etc., in 130 languages. It also points to on-line
grammars, language identifiers, and multi-language dictionaries.
Pretty amazing resource.
Among the specialized resources it points to:
The LOGOS Dictionary
http://dictionary.logos.it/query.html
(Over 40 languages; can do phrases as well as words)
Nevada Division of Water Planning Water Words Dictionary

reference)

These might come in handy for those of you working with farmers on
legal/land stuff:
Dictionary of Legal Terms

Dictionary of Real Estate Terms

In addition to finding what I was searching for (names of small
grains and farming tools in different languages) thru these
resources, I learned these useful food-related phrases in Klingon:
"Where do you keep the chocolate?"
nuqDaq yuch Dapol
"Am I supposed to eat this?"
Dochvam vISop net pIH'a'?
A tribble-skinner
yIHmey SurghwI'
And the motto of Klingon PR folks for certain corporations that shall
remain nameless:
jIQum 'ej jIHoH
(I communicate and I kill)
