SJL Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi, just wanted to point out this excellent free online translation websitehttp://babelfish.altavista.com/I love it!Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 These online translators are a laugh! I think Nigel Molesworth is behind them.The last thing I tried on an online translator was "laughing my ass off", which gets translated as "riant mon ane au loin"."Gare à tes fesses" (you'd better watch out) gets translated as "park has your buttocks".It all amuses my 10-year-old son hugely. I'll stick with BobCollins until things get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 HiI thought I'd be clever and use an online translator from Google.My French friends think it is great - totally incomprehensible, but funny at the same time.The "home" page is translated as "à la maison". See how many howlers you can spot here : http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftlp.netfirms.com&langpair=en%7Cfr&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&prev=%2Flanguage_toolsIf you can't capture this URL go to this one & click on translate : http://tlp.netfirms.comPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I have to agree that the online translators are not too good, this can be checked by asking them to translate back to the original language. However, all said and done you might like to look at this translator which I think is the best of a bad lot.http://www.reverso.com/text_translation.aspBaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
