We present in this section some links to linguistic resources that may be useful for literary or technical translation. We have included under this label links to different sites that contain reference materials and tools, classified according the working languages. As many states are composed by several linguistic communities and there are languages which are spoken in more than one state, the information may appear under different titles.
