This was mentioned in a larger list of links a few years ago, but if you work from or to Russian—it's well worth a special look again. You can search words and phrases and find large lists of entries from many different sources, and there is also a forum for queries. I've found it very useful recently for both highly technical work and for "ordinary language" issues.

Paul Gallagher found these "Topical collections of vocabulary with explanatory notes, generally assumes British English... Includes lots of material you will only find with difficulty in dictionaries, if at all."

Here is an excellent web site with clear instructions and links for making your mac read (and write....) Cyrillic on the net:
http://www.pitt.edu/~mapst57/rus/russian.html
The site “Russification of the Macintosh” is maintained by Matvey Palchuk and has plentiful information on configuring the most popular mac net software (e.g., Eudora, Netscape Navigator, Fetch, Turbogopher, CyberDog) to handle various types of Cyrillic (as well as other related alphabets) you may encounter on the web, in newsgroups, and in e-mail. The links take you right to where the required freeware and shareware reside for downloading (including fonts) and provide detailed instructions for what to do with it all once you have it on your hard disk. Finally I can read all those little boxes and endless rows of vowels!!!! This is a site well worth returning to periodically, since Matvey keeps updating it with more and more useful information and links.

An interesting collection of “Russian Poetic Speech,” seems to have detailed examples of Russian translations from German and Latin also. I stumbled across it while looking for an ordinary-language phrase in context for a technical translation, so this might be worth looking at even if you’re just into quantum mechanics....
