How to translate language online

Most people will feel the need to translate from one language to another at least once in their lifetime, and web translation is a fast and easy way to do that. If you want to find out more about the various ways to do a foreign language translation online, then keep on reading.

Free online translators

There are many translation programs online that can be accessed free of charge. The only thing that you need to do is to submit the original text and receive that same text translated in the language of your choice. Here are a few free online translation tools: Babel Fish Babel Fish is a free online interpreter made available through the Yahoo website. You can choose between doing website translations by entering the address of a website or entering up to 150 words of text. Babel Fish has the capability to translate different languages such as Chinese, German, Dutch, French, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish. Google Translator Google Translator is one of the best free web translation tools that you can use. All that you need to do is to copy and paste a website address or a portion of a text in the box and the translator will detect the original language and offer multiple choices for the translation. The process is very easy. For example, you can translate Google Spanish into Google English just by hitting the button “Translate”. The main advantage of these online tools is that they are free. What is more is that you can get your text translated almost instantly. However, this method also has its disadvantages. This kind of machine translation is not usually very accurate and the sentence structures may be completely different from what they should have actually been. Furthermore, it tends to translate every language literally and some phrases don’t make any sense.

Paid translation services

Using a paid translation service or a translation agency is definitely the best choice to make, in terms of quality and accuracy. However, the problem is that it’s much more expensive than the free translation services because human translators may charge per word or per page. What is more is that there may be a big time delay. Therefore, if you need a translation urgently, a paid translation service may not be the best option.
