English (or other European) translations of Pali Canon

score:13

I personally use the following translations:

Paper copies of Bhikkhu Bodhi's translations of Nikayas (for example Majjhima) for nice smooth English rendition.
Access To Insight for quick and convenient search.
Dharmafarer for in-depth analysis.

When in doubt, I do my own translation with a dictionary (Sanskrit, Pali, I also use a number of Pali-Russian dictionaries). For this, Sutta Central is a good source of well-formatted Pali texts (it also has translations but I don't like their renditions).

If I want to compare several English translations I go to Obo: http://obo.genaud.net/backmatter/indexes/sutta/sutta_toc.htm
