http://www.multilanguage.org/

The study of languages has lead Gregg Cox to produce the Worlds largest language dictionary in 225 languages. The dictionary of 45,600 pages consists of nearly 5 million entries which cross references each of the 225 languages individually producing 50,400 separate dictionaries. The dictionary is also available in CD form.
