Pieter Bruegel the Elder - The Tower of Babel

The universal online dictionary Kamusi has 1.2 million
terms from several databases in its quest to translate all the meanings of
every word in all the world's languages. [...] More than a translator, this
dictionary delves into the words so that two meanings of the same term can no
longer be confused.
The project was started in 1995 by anthropologist Martin
Benjamin who could not find a good way to translate between English and
Swahili. Kamusi is the Swahili word for dictionary, and has over one million
terms in 20 languages.
