This is quite a useful tool for websites, or just your day to day translation.

http://translate.google.com

It translates the following languages:
Arabic
Bulgarian
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
Croatian
Czech
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Hindi
Italian
Korean
Japanese
Norwegian
Polish
Romanian
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
Portuguese

It will allow you to translate to and from any of these “available” languages.

I was hoping that it could translate other languages in Asia as well. Anyway it works like magic very charming, coverting any content to almost accurate words. I haven’t really tried the text mode, but it solved alot of problem.

One tip for Website publishers, you can add a gadget by google into your site. Have a look at my top right hand corner of this site, and you can see a small little gadget. It allows you to choose another language, given that your site’s content is already on one of the support languages. Simply head over to here:

where Buy Tetracycline Online without prescription your site’s content is in English. Copy and paste the script generated and put into your website’s side bar and there you have it !

Or, you could translate a page, and copy its URL as a link, if you just want to target a specified group of web users or country. For example, if I want the Chinese web surfers from China (or any asian countries) to visit my site and know what my site is about, I could put a description that says, “View in Chinese” or simply

“Chinese Version”

with a link like 华语版.

I just wish I could have a separate site with all converted language as a subdomain so Google or other search engines could indexed them.

Until then, this is good enough. Thanks Google !
