Where to find a free Latin to English translation tool

Where to find a free Latin to English translation tool

John Blackmur John Blackmur

Translating from Latin verbs and phrases to English can be a confusing and difficult process. There are tools online that can assist with this process. This article will look at three examples of these services and how they can assist you with any Latin to English that you need to translate, or if you want to translate from English to Latin.

Translation-guide.com

This website allows users to enter text in, and then it translates it easily. The benefit of this service is clearly the speed. The site allows users to enter quite a lot of text, and then translates the information for the user. Some of the translations differ from the same phrases used on other sites. So, it might not be accurate - either this or the other site got the translation wrong. The site also gives users the chance to translate web addresses into Latin or a variety of different languages. This could be useful if you are looking to create a website and want a Latin address. The site also gives users access to a forum so that they can discuss the benefits of online translations verses which have been done by a human source.

Thebookmarkshop.com

This site takes a very different approach as it lists the Latin Language, and allows people to find the words that they are looking for. It does come with the provision that just translating English phrases and Latin vocabulary could affect the meaning and Latin grammar. So, users are pre-warned that it might not be accurate. The site can be time-consuming to navigate as there are a lot of words to choose from, and as such the site loses out to other services that allow you to write the exact phrasing that you were looking for. The site does have an online translator service, but it redirects you to another site, and the results are displayed with further options for other languages.

Latinphrasetranslation.com

This final service is probably the best of the three that this article has looked at. It combines the ability to translate complete phrases. It also gives access to professional translators so that they can check that the information is accurate, or if they want to get more advice on phrasing. The service is very easy to use, and you also get the benefit of the dictionary as with the other sites. The reason why this site wins over the other two is because of the chance to talk to professional translators to check the information before you use it elsewhere.
