Free Translation Services Offered by Google

I like this site better than Babel Fish for when I need to translate a word or phrase, usually from a book I am reading but also if I hear foreign words in a movie.

With about twenty three languages ready to go, chances are you will find out in English what you need to know. Google will also detect the language of origin for you in case you don't have any idea.

And of course, it will do a reverse search for you from English to another language.

Google Translator? barely ok. Original Babel Fish was Superb...

Sorry to disagree with you Mia, but, the original Babel Fish was the best translator I have ever used. In one click an entire email could be translated to any one of 15+ different languages or back to English. The Google translator, for me, is a joke, allowing only 355 characters at a time. The Original Babel Fish would let me do big chunks of text. I don't know if Babel ever had a limit on characters, but, I never hit the limit. Babel, today, is not the original Babel. Today, Babel looks like some type of search engine for translator services. Someone either bought Babel out or they just went under. I wrote a Xombyte about Babel-Fish, and then before I posted it I went to Babel to translate the Xombyte into three other languages as to demonstrate how great Babel was. Sadly, to my dismay, Babel had changed. So, I junked the Xombyte. I'm writing this reply more to remember the original Babel, than to disagree. Rest In Peace, my old friend Babel Fish. ___________________________ Read all my articles at: http://www.xomba.com/xombyte/bigpink?page=1 Creating A World That Works For All http://www.commonway.org Make Money Writing $$$: http://www.xomba.com/referral/7777ea2e Make a difference in the consumer marketplace!
