DVD SPECIAL!

DVDs are an invaluable tool for learning a foreign language the fast way.
Lonweb recommends DVDs!

DVDs means Digital Versatile Disc
DVDs are like CD-Roms but with a huge capacity
DVDs can store a whole movie in best quality of picture and sound
DVDs allow for multiple audio tracks  (up to 6) and multiple subtitles (up to 32)
This means that you can have a movie with -say- switchable English/ German audio tracks and switchable English/ German subtitles
DVDs are the true revolution in language learning technology that all of us were expecting...

ETHNOLOGUE, THE BIBLE OF LANGUAGES
http://gamma.sil.org/ethnologue
email: academic_books@sil.org and mailto:WWW@sil.org
order: http://www.sil.org/ethnologue/order.html  

The Ethnologue is a catalogue (updated 1996) of more than 6,700 languages spoken in 228 countries. The Ethnologue Name Index lists over 39,000 language names, dialect names, and alternate names. The Ethnologue Language Family Index organizes languages according to language families.These 3 publications are available both on the Internet or in printed form from the Summer Institute of Linguistics, Inc., Dallas, Texas
State-of-the-art catalogue of languages and dialects spoken in any given country including the tiniest minorities
Useful statistics like Top 100 languages by population (but don't expect utmost reliability: for instance, first speakers of Italian are 40 million according to Ethnologue, Italian population averages 60 million people just in Italy)illion people just in Italy)
The electronic version of the Ethnologue, the Ethnologue Language Name Index, and the Ethnologue Language Family Index is intended for scholarly research and educational use. You may make copies of portions of these documents for research or educational purposes free of charge and without further permission. Republication or commercial use of the Ethnologue (and its indexes) is expressly prohibited without the written consent of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, Inc.

:
mailbox

the official site of the European Union
translations of official documents are available in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German,  Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish. That means you can download and print the same document in 2 languages. A great learning help if you are studying any of those languages!
when you link to a document in a given language, the translation of that document in any other of the 10 languages (with the possible exception of Greek) is only one click away topfeature
although copyrighted by the European Union, these documents can be freely reproduced if you are using them for non-commercial purposes and provided you mention the source
for more convenience you'll be finding some of these documents on our site in the next few weeks: They'll be arranged in such a way as to make learning from them much easier.


EURODIC AUTOM: FREE ONLINE DICTIONARY IN 11 EU LANGUAGES
http://www2.echo.lu/edic/
email
: Feedback

the official multilingual database of the European Community consulted today by an increasing number of EU officials as well as by language professionals throughout the world
free online translation of terms and abbreviations in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. Any language can be either the source or the target
when a match is found, the translated word is sometimes given within its context  topfeature
despite its serious origin, Eurodicautom results are sometimes puzzling or even unreliable Example: Select ENGLISH as source, FINNISH as target and input the word "government". No result is found! Now do the same with GERMAN and you'll be surprised to find BEHÖRDE (authority) or INSTANZ but not REGIERUNG, which is the most obvious translation!

ALTA VISTA: A TRANSLATING ENGINE IN 5 LANGUAGES

email
: AltaVista Support

free online automated translation engine from English to Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and viceversa, powered by Systran
translates also complete web pages whereby the translated text fits the original layout topfeature
translation quality useful for later manipulation by professional translators but don't rely on it if you don't know the language very very well

Automated translation software from English to many other languages including Japanese
Low-cost basic versions (Systran Personal) and higher priced professional versions.
