Russian slang query

[David Powelstock]

Multitran is great for quick and dirty translation, but I would warn anyone
who is not a native speaker of English that some of the English "idioms" are
neither. I've come across some very strange expressions there that I've
never encountered in British or American English. So, you know, "Doveriai,
no proveriai!"

Glad you like it.  It's a very useful site.  Perhaps your students can 
receive extra credit for finding how to get a "morphological analysis" of a 
word (click on the headword, itself), if they haven't figured it out 
already.  The analysis is a bit awkward, but it can be quite helpful for 
learners; often the stress is marked there, too.
