Translating Languages

Here's a number of resources to allow you to translate those pesky foreign websites (or just pages of text) to and from several languages, be it Japanese, Chinese, German, Dutch, or what-have-you. Enjoy!

Note: For a crash-course in understanding the Japanese language as it relates to TFs, go here.

Babelfish - One of the better free ones. I'd try this baby first. It gets pretty close, especially for that hard-to-translate Japanese (I for one don't have that support for my current browser). I use this one most of the time.

Systran - Almost as good as e-lingo used to be, and has become one of my new free favorites. Just make sure to pick the right order for the languages, or you might think it didn't translate for you. :-) Heheh. Limited in language choices, but aren't they all?

The ones below are useful, in a limited way (for me, anyways):

Web Dictionaries! - Takes up the slack where other translators leave off. A huge selection of languages to choose from.

World Lingo - Another machine translator, with paid serices for a human translator. Offers two versions of Chinese on the free one. :-)

Your Dictionary - Lets you look up individual words and meanings. Also has a thesaurus. Wee.

Translation Plus - Have a human being decode what Argus and Devvi are saying. :-)
