A website in Romanian and English that offers a multilingual dictionary which seems to be updated very frequently with hundreds of terms and expressions in very different (especially multi-technical) fields. Term search is achieved through a search engine, and there is a dictionary log on the right side listing the latest registered terms. Of course, the suggested terminology often depends on precise contexts and can sometimes be helpful without necessarily giving the appropriate translation. Many language combinations are available, although combinations between Romanian and English, French or German seem to offer the widest database, and it is hard for me to tell what can actually be found in other combinations. Basically: explore it to find out what it can actually offer you. ;-)

Tai pirmasis lietuviškas radioelektronikos terminų žodynas. Jame be pagrindinių elektronikos ir mikro­elektro­nikos terminų yra teikiama per 3000 ryšių technikos ir radiotechnikos, per 1000 televizijos, per 1000 lazerių fizikos, per 2000 elektrotechnikos ir per 1000 kompiuterijos terminų. Žodyne yra daug pagrindinių mikroelektronikos sričių – integrinių grandynų gamybos techno­lo­gijos ir įrangos, puslaidininkinių ir hibridinių grandynų projektavimo bei modeliavimo metodų ir priemonių, mikroelektroninių darinių gamyboje naudojamų medžiagų, lustų, padėklų, integrinių grandynų bandymo ir tikrinimo – terminų. Dažniausiai tai daugiažodžiai, pirmą kartą lie­tuvių kalba teikiami terminai. Dėl kai kurių terminų vartosenos tebevyksta įvairių sričių specialistų diskusijos. Lietuviškuose leidiniuose tie patys dariniai dažnai vadinami skirtingai. Jų pavadinimus žodyno ren­gė­jai stengėsi suvienodinti, patikslinti, sunorminti. Dėl šios priežasties žodyne yra daug naujų sudėtinių lietuviškų radioelektronikos terminų, leidžiančių geriau suvokti jais nusakomų dalykų prasmę.

Keywords: spices, herbs

This index comprises about 10000 names for far more than 100 spices and herbs. English and German names will be found for every spice, as well as the Latin terms used by Botanists and (if of medical use) in pharmaceutical science. For the more common spices, I give names in practically all European languages; for more obscure spices, at least some languages (Dutch, Russian, Hungarian, Polish) are supported almost throughout. There is also a large number of Far Eastern languages supported in this index. Almost all plants are now named in Chinese (typically Mandarin, although there is a large number of Cantonese names also), Korean and Japanese; a significant number of plant names in Vietnamese, Thai, Malay and Indonesian are available, especially of plants with some tradition in South East Asia. Support for other languages (Khmer, Burmese, Lao, Tagalog) is significantly poorer. Languages of India will be expanded upon shortly. There are still defienciencies in languages of Western and Central Asia: Currently, only Turkish, Arabic and Farsi are included to a reasonable degree. African and even more American languages are very badly represented in this index.

Includes general alphabetic, English alphabetic, morphologic, and botanic indexes.

It includes many terms that relate to matters of political tension, controversy and debate. Federalists may find arguments and explanations both in favour of and against further European integration, just as Eurosceptics, EU-critics and Eurorealists may find their own arguments and the Federalist counter-arguments to their positions.
