Useful translation resources on the web
Some useful sites to find the meaning of a term, acronym, or abbreviation in English:
http://www.dictionary.com
http://www.answers.com
http://www.acronymfinder.com
and of course our own English-French and French-English dictionary.
Some valuable French-language bilingual dictionaries and terminology databases:
http://www.granddictionnaire.com/ is a valuable resource, although slow and awkward to use.
http://europa.eu.int/eurodicautom/Controller is very useful to find official and normalized translations. This EU resource is unfortunately being phased out.
