Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a great translation resource, especially for technical terms. Come across a rare animal species in a translation? Look it up on Wikipedia in English and then switch to the page in your own language (assuming it exists). This will generally give you a state-of-the-art translation.

There are lots of unit conversion tools on the internet. Found one that was particularly helpful? Mention it here!
