diccionarios.com (English-Spanish; Spanish-English; French-Spanish;

combinations (including Catalan), in addition to a monolingual Spanish
dictionary and a Spanish thesaurus.
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and Theasaurus (English; thesaurus):

Diccionario de la Lengua Española de la Real Academia (DRAE)
(Spanish): Yeah, yeah, everybody likes to dump on it, but, hey, it's free and
it's really useful. Despite its critics, it is still the best online tool for Latin
American Spanish.
ProZ.com Term Search (every combination): Contains the results of several
years of queries from translators to colleagues all over the world. Obviously
a hodge-podge, from the best and the brightest to the worst and the dullest,
but it's always a good place to stop when you're working on a field

pitfalls. Therefore, handle with extreme care.

And an indispensable tool for the financial translator:
The Wall Street Journal (English): How are you going to translate financial
texts if you can't understand them? A subscription to this publication is
worth a thousand M.B.A.'s. ¡Go for it! It's not brain surgery, and within less
than a couple of weeks you may be greedily eyeing that upcoming IPO.
