As I was doing some cleanup work I realized that I have quite a few URLs from sites like Scrbd that others can use as reference for their translation work. So I am listing there; if any of these no longer works please feel free to email me by using this This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . If you have something to add to this list, email me or contact me on Twitter (Leximaniac). Hope you find this as interesting and as useful as I did:

In a few minutes I will update this post with a list of ERP related glossaries. These will be solely English monolingual in their majority.
I am still planning on publishing a list of conferences that will take place during 2010 but this popped up and I thought it would be nice to share. So stay tuned, there will be more posting in 2010 :)
