Translation Website

Are you looking for a good translation website? We'll tell you what to look for in a translation web site and how to make web translation work for you. Whether you want help learning a new language, accessing a foreign website or getting a special translating job done, this brief guide should give you a few good ideas to help you in your search.

First, check out BabelFish.org. Fans of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy will appreciate its name. It's not the prettiest-looking site, but it has links to some of the best translation websites.

One of the best translating websites, due to its ease of use and blazing speed, is Google. (You might have heard of them before; they're also not bad for searching the web.) Google currently offers machine-generated translation into several different languages and is continually adding more languages. You probably won't receive a perfect translation if you submit a long quote, since machine translation technology is not yet anywhere near human capabilities (try asking a computer to interpret the phrase, "It's not you; it's me" as quickly as your significant other might).

AltaVista also has a Babel Fish translation tool that, like Google's, works instantly and gives a pretty good translation in many different languages.

Translation.Langenberg.com is a simple site with translations search boxes you can use to get quick translations from many different sites.

Finally, look at FreeTranslation.com. If you're potentially interested in having a professional translate your website, this is a good destination.
