WikiTranslate

Have you ever had troubles looking up the translation of a term with several ambiguities? I know I have. One of the best ways to overcome this (at least in my opinion) is to use the Wikipedia as your dictionary. You look up your term and use the linked articles in other languages as a base for translation.

That's what this tool does for you. Enter your term, choose the correct article and look at the translations. Easy as pie.
