The Canadian government has long maintained an excellent terminology resource called the Termium; it’s primarily in French and English, but also includes a Spanish section. Access to the Termium used to be by subscription only but with the launch of Canada’s new Language Portal, it’s now free (our favorite price!). With close to four million French and English terms and over 200,000 Spanish terms, this is a resource worth investigating if you haven’t already. Happy searching!
Termium is now free

I think all my Christmases have just come at once! I was just about to subscribe to Termium having discovered the value of this glossary during the free trial offer. Corinne, your post has just made my day. Thank you!
Wow, Emma! You made my day too, I’m glad that this saved you some $$. Termium is a fantastic resource and I’m thrilled with Canada for making it free
Free is my favorite adjective; in any language, especially for small businesses like us. Thanks for passing along this fabulous news.
