Can we post here all useful tools regarding language(s) on the net?
1. Dictionary
After searching for a lot of different, specialized dictionaries, I've found Onelook . For every word you enter you get explanation plus alternative explanations from database of about 900 (!) other dictionaries.
Find meanings, acronyms, trademarks and terms from any imaginable area on one place. Reverse dictionary finds a word from the explanation.
2. Encyclopedia
Wikipedia
Pretty all topics covered, not all, but the best knowledge resource on the net at the time, I guess.
3. Translators
Babelfish was mentioned already, you can translate the whole website in seconds. Quality is so-so, but the point is to be able to understand some Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Greek sites.
4. Spell checker
iespell works with I.E. only, but it's free, you get link in a I.E. menu and on right mouse button. You can use it then when you edit posts on forums, blogs, mails...
Other suggestions appreciated.
