Check the linguistic validity of sites that come up Jul 18, 2003

What I tend to do if looking for a term and can't find any way to an English equivalent by entering the source language term is to think of a few possibilities in English and try them. It's then important if you get hits to check that the sites which come up are based in an English-speaking country and that the quality of the language on the site is acceptable.

To see your terms highlighted on the site you are looking at, click on "cached" rather than the URL heading. It saves time as you don't have to download pdf files or the full site - and you find the terms immediately, to be able to see them in context. I have also found it will take you to a page even when the website has expired (probably why it is called "cached"!), which can be useful.

HTH!
