Language Translation Made Easy
One of the great divides across cultures has always been the language barrier. Not only do I not know how to speak, read or write other languages, often I cannot tell what the language is just by looking at it – for example, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. I received an email in Chinese? today and went to my normal online translator to see what it said, but Chinese to English wasn’t one of their options.Auto Detection
I’m thinking, what if this isn’t Chinese? Do I try multiple translators until one works, or is there a translator out there that simplifies this whole messy process? To my amazement, I found Bing Translator which has an auto detect option. Wow! I plugged in my email message and was able to instantly read Chinese spam in English. LOL.

Yahoo also has it’s own language translator named Babel Fish, allowing you to translate a block of text up to 150 words.
Of course, there are variations of translators, like The Dialectizer. The Dialector can translate web pages and text into Redneck, Jive, Cockney, Elmer Fudd, Swedish Chef, Moron, Pig Latin, or Hacker. I just tried Redneck on our site and it’s hilarious.

Sometimes I also use that translators, and my favorite one is the google.translate.com, although the result sometimes not too satisfying, but at least I can figure out the core meaning. Learning different languages is fun thing for me
at first all i used was google translate but now i think that babel fish returns a better translation that is easier to read.
The article is good provides useful information & helpful as well, most often I use the translator which is more valuable for us.I like the article very much as it is very informative and hope to see more of such articles.
I thought there is only 100 languages in Google tools. Now, what I see is more what I expected. But still, English is our international language. There are sites that offers essay writing in any language. sample (translinggo).
I just needed to say that I found http://hostirian.com/blog/?p=2422 via Goolge and I am glad I did. Keep up the good work and I will make sure to bookmark you for when I have more free time away from the books. Thanks again!
I always use English translations by Google if I need to read something in the different languages, for example in Czech or Slovak.
Google is great for translation, but I find myself seeing a lot of content where I don’t recognize the language, which is where Bing’s auto-detect helps. Of course, I have run across some languages none of the translaters recognize.
