Sorry I have only used it to do quick translations on the website! - So I wouldn't know!

Perhaps do a Google search for some more sites and you may come accross forums with people discussing which is best?

Otherwise see if anyone posts on here with some more info!

One word of warning when using these translation sites, especially for things like tattoos which can be difficult to remove.

What you type in English might not sound right in another language. And also it might sound rude or not make sense.

In other words, don't take what it says on screen as gospel, because most of the time it will not make sense or just sound really naff.

For example, I ran the above through Free Translation, translating the English to French and then the French back into English.

This is what I got ...

A warning word while using these translation sites, especially for the things likes the that the tattoos that can be difficult removed.

What you do it type the English could not seem just in another language. And also it could seem impolite or not the brand direction.

In of other terms, not that to take it says on the screen as the gospel, because most of the time it will not do the direction or solid just really naff.

Not exactly word for word but as you can see there are some anomalies there.

Ok for the odd word but I wouldn't rely on it. I just tried a simple sentence in Spanish It didn't make sense. I think Babelfish is similar.

Hi Salli, I use Worldlingo or Babelfish...but only for the odd sentences. I hope this helps?
