Hi,
An easy online translator for some osteological or zooarchaeological
terminology can be found at
http://www.lai.com/glossaries.html
The website has a long listing of various online dictionaries. Those of
particular interest are under the Chinese subheading the "English-Chinese
Medical Dictionary" (work through an alphabetical listing of terms), under
the English subheading the "Multilingual Dictionary of the Horse" (a very easy
searchable site, type in "femur" for example and it will give you the
translation for femur in English, French, Spanish, and German and you can
search for translation from any of the four languages), and lastly under the
Multilingual subheading the "Fish Glossary" which will translate via a search
engine the common names for fish (example cod or torsk) into and from 10
different languages (mostly European). There are also a variety of other basic
online multilingual dictionaries not specific to bone or animal terminology
but which may be useful for other translation needs.
Cheers,
Jodi
