Not bad (especially for the presence of Yucatec Maya!), but I still prefer the
meta-search tool at http://www.foreignword.com/Tools/dictsrch.htm. Not a
dictionary by itself but a meta-search tool on a huge database of mono- and bi-
lingual dictionaries. And it does have fancy languages like Sardinian, Ilongo,
Roturnan or Chechen, and funny pairs (what do you think of a Greek-Irish
dictionary? :))) ). Of course, all those dictionaries are not of the same
quality, but the simple fact that this link provides an easy way to navigate
among them makes it worth it.
