For Russian-English I can mention Jalingo, Dicto. - English-English dictionary soft - WordWeb, The Sage - there are also browser extensions (for Firefox) - QTL, very good dictionary addon (many languages, some dictionary sites and access to Wiki data too), Pronounce - pronounces selected word using Merriam-Webster (AFAIR I met both on GHacks). - there are also many specific soft (English Trainer, etc).

As Pete Lidwell says in the Google Blog (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/spargel.html) you only have to search the term that you don't completly understand and a graphic representation of the word came up instantly. I think it's great specially for ideas and words that have no specific translation. Best regards, Jail I think that you forgot one of the most interesting: Google Images!
