Question I recently moved to Israel and am a seamstress. I need to find a dictionary that would encompass technical sewing terms such as buckram, interfacing, pique, etc. We have Oxford and the 5 volume Alcalay, but they don't have the words I'm looking for (and the ones I'm sure I'll need in the near future).

Answer Hi,
When everything else fails I try www.answers.com, which for most English words keyed in will do two things:
1. Give you a full definition of the word, as well as the corresponding Wikipedia article about it.
2. Provide the translation of the word into a dozen languages, Hebrew included.
