LanguageBox.com: A Virtual Tower of Babel
As I type, I'm listening to a radio station in Stockholm, perusing the headlines of the Bangkok Daily News, and surfing a Chinese-English dictionary in preparation for an upcoming trip. I found it all on LanguageBox.com. Whether you're a hard-core linguaphile looking to learn a new tongue, or just curious to see some world news from non-U.S. sources, this site is a great place to start. A free service of the Irish translation firm Language People (www.languagepeople.com), LanguageBox.com is a comprehensive index of links to foreign language dictionaries, translation sites, currency converters, online language courses, and TV, radio, and news sites from Rio de Janeiro to Rangoon.
