There's a wonderful site called Leo, which has an absolutely awesome German-to-Other-Languages dictionary. There's a wonderful Leo Dictionary Add-On available on both Firefox and Chrome which allows you to look a word up in there just by selecting and clicking on the option in the contextual menu.

Leo, in my line of work, is one of the most useful resources on the web. I don't think there are comparable resources for any other languages besides German, which is really too bad. (If anyone knows different, please link!)

There's Wordreference.com, which is very nice. Not quite as super special awesome as Leo, but nice.
