I found a good translation resource this week.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Steffen,

I just ran into this webpage (though not with the same URL but http://www.june29.com/IDP/) and it is still free - let's hope they will not change this in the future! It's really great and a good pastime when you once happen to have a break;)
