Online Language Translator
 
I know this is gonna sound kinda daft but does any1 know of any good free online language translators? I got a few people who i play RTCW with and a few are German and a few Danish, SPanish etc but its a pain not being able to communicate with some of them...i need a site that i can punch in my sentences....push a translate button....and *boof* the sentence comes back to me in the language i,ve chosen to translate...Any1 know of any good and accurate ones? Cheers all in advance.;)

As far as I know, there really isn't anything like that around. There are some translation sites, but generally the quality is quite poor/appalling.

Online translators never get it 100% right and dont understand all words and all forms of verbs and tenses, etc....but give this one a try...:

I had a go at both this one and babelfish, and the results are not good. Chances are that if you use one these your teammates will not only not understand you, but will be laughing their heads off as well.

Yeah thats the problem with these translators.
They will not give you the correct formation of a verb, the tense, etc, or a word will be translated as a completly different thing.

Its ok for the odd word, but human translation is really necccesary for long and accurate info.

You could try Google's translator (Select the "language tools" link on Google's main page)
or click here http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

One of the best (IMHO) is Intertran from http://www.tranexp.com/
However it is now a paid for product only, the website nolonger offers the free option of typing in what you want translated, click here and hey presto.

I use Systran - it's not ideal, but it's the best I've found so far. Their url is www.systransoft.com
