I came across this resource in Tara Calishain's ResearchBuzz, a newsletter I never fail to read (as opposed to glancing at it briefly).
If you are a translator you may find this resource handy. It lists 1682 glossaries, indexed by topic and by ISO language codes. So you can search by topic and language to see if the right one is available. There are fifty topics and over sixty topics.
Of course, you won't find a Czech biology glossary or a Hebrew agriculture glossary and I'm sure many other sorts. But I was amazed at some of the ones I did find (including an Icelandic shellfish glossary!).
There is an overwhelming number of glossaries in English. So when I searched for English dictionaries for all topics I came up with 1406. But as I looked down the list I noticed that a good number of these were in more than one language.
And there are plenty of other language and translation resources on the main site (http://www.xlation.com/).
Another must read newsletter is The Scout Report and the latest lists this dictionary of Internet related terms:
http://www.netlingo.com/
Just select the word you want from the left hand frame and view the definition. The terms are all classified too so you can view, for example, all the chatroom abbreviations listed. What fun!
Cheers
