How to get the best English to Filipino translation from a translation software

While you may need to talk to your Filipino friend who has a mediocre knowledge of English, sometimes they may ask you to show them what you are trying to say in their native language, or you could need a Filipino translator for a school assignment. For whatever reason you need to translate English to Filipino, this article will go in depth on how to translate from English to Filipino, without the necessity of hiring a translator or a Filipino-English dictionary.

Some online tools

If you are not familiar with the Filipino language, or are not familiar with the mechanics of the language, online tools may be your best bet. While they cannot be perfect, due to the nature of the difference of English and Filipino, normally the reader can tell the general meaning of it. You should not use these tools for school assignments, and there is absolutely no guarantee whatsoever on the accuracy of these tools. Google translator
The first tool you will be introduced to, is the well-known Google translator. Located at Translate.google.com, the user merely has to select English as the input language, and Filipino as the output language. The site has an
auto-preview feature, so there is no need to click any translate button. Babelfish
The second tool that you will be introduced to is Babelfish. Babelfish, located at Babelfish.yahoo.com, is fairly equal to Google translator, but can be used if your friend cannot understand the output of the Google translator

Additional tools

If you need more robust language converters than the online ones can do, you can try to either hire an expert or you can try to use downloadable tools. Many of the downloadable tools offer similar functions to online ones. Hire an expert translator
Therefore, your best bet would be to hire an expert translator. The average turnaround time for them to give you the finalised copy of the translation can be anything from a day to a few months, but you are much more likely to get an extremely accurate translation from an expert online. Tips Experts can be found by simply going to Google.com and researching. Remember to always look into the background of whom you are hiring, to be sure that the individual is qualified.
