Online translating

I was wondering what are the best online translating features that I could add to the "Universal Suikoden Topic Index".

The USTI can be found here

Thank You.

Online translating? Like from language to language?

the only one I know of is www.altavista.com/babelfish

Google has a translator here: http://www.google.com/language_tools

It works about as well as any other machine translator on the net. (ie, not that well. :*laugh*: )

If I am only searching for a sinlge word or phrase, I usually use www.leo.org
It is in German, unfortunately, but it is pretty useful to me.

I have to warn you that these online translators can be (and usually are) WILDLY innaccurate. I've read some of the "translations" from english to french and english to japanese these kinds of things produce and they really are bad news.
It's much, much better to either learn the language yourself or find someone who speaks it...!

Same here. Once I wanted to see just how accurate freetranslation.com was and typed something in English and got something WAAY OFF in its supposed Spanish form. The same thing happened for French. I blame it heavily on the different grammar rules. They kept trying to match word for word and while they translated each word correctly, the grammar and structure was way off and didn't make any sense.

These sites are good if you're searching for single words but if you're trying to translate full sentences or large chunks, it gets very bad.

Good luck!
