I also like Linguee, and EUR+Lex (http://www.anyterm.info/eur%20lex/index.php?jezik=angl ).

https://mymemory.translated.net/ is also useful, sometimes

Reverso, Pons, IATE Jan 4, 2017

I am vigilant when using Linguee but then check IATE site when all else fails: http://iate.europa.eu/SearchByQuery.do. I do not like My memory as some are clearly wrong. Some entries in Linguee are very good but some are clearly wrong. I also use Wordreference site both for translating specific words. It also has a site for looking up discussions about certain terms in different contexts.
