I found a psuedo-German phrase in the Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing book, "drakwald" and was trying to translate it. I figured it meant Dragon Wall or something similar (Dragonwood), but I realized that a really easy way to come up with good German place names is to take English words and translate them using Google's Language Tools. Voila, instant flavor in the language of your choice.
I also noticed there are Translation Browser Buttons, which let you translate part or all of a web page pretty easily, and the Dictionary gives you all of the possible words, plus interesting phrases that use it. Check it out for sword. A suggestion of "flammenschwert?" It's like it's reading my mind!
Just for the record, I don't know any German other than the few words I've been able to pick up here and there.
