Thesaurus Linguae Graecae
The TLG contains the Greek texts of Plato's works. Many of the individual works are critical and standard editions from the Platonis Opera.

Henri Estienne and Marsilio Ficino translated Plato's works from Greek into Latin.

Platonis Omnia Opera, tr. Marsilio Ficino, (Lyons: 1588)
Marsilio Ficino was the first individual to completely translate all of Plato's works from Greek to Latin. Marsilio Ficino's Latin translation of Plato's works is still considered authoritative. Dr. Geoff Bowe was in charge of the project to scan the 1588 edition of the Platonis Omnia Opera. Each dialogue is available as a PDF.
