I use Google's Definition (http://www.google.com/help/features.html#definitions) feature sometimes. Until now, I've only used it when searching for English definitions. However, I just discovered it has definitions in other languages as well. I've never seen it before, so they have either just added it (I saw it yesterday) or for some reason, I didn't notice it before.

Here (http://www.google.com/search?q=define:mais&hl=en&lr=&defl=fr) is an example. If you look at the bottom, you can see it will also give you the definition of that word in other languages.

it only uses wikipedia's definitions for chinese
and can't define many terms

so that's only good for western languages
