Foreignword.com is another site that contains links to various translation tools besides hosting its own service that helps translate terms in one language to another.

For example, while typing in Word, if you want to know a particular word's French equivalent, just select the word and press the key combination `SHift CTrl T' and immediately the program's interface pops up with this word; at this point, you can press the necessary button to get the required output. The program supports more than 60 languages.
