I love this idea.
When I was an exchange student in Germany, I took civil engineering courses in German. Traditional dictionaries were not really useful for filling my gaps of technical vocabulary.
Instead, my approach was to have the German textbook (or course notes), a textbook on the topic in English and Wikipedia open. I would try to go through the German content as far as I could. Often I would be stuck because I did not know some terms, so I would search on Wikipedia and then change the language to English. If the wiki article wasn't enough then I would go to the English textbook and fill in the gaps.
I would have loved to have this then!
