Free Translation

Whether you want free Spanish to English translation or free online translation of other languages we can point you in the right direction. This page offers links to the webs most popular computer translation services. Use these services to get a gist of foreign text and help decide whether you need to use Live Translation to provide a professional translation of the original text or your response.

Please remember that free computer aided translations are generally poor quality and you should never use them for published translations or business communications. Even personal users will find that a computer translation simply isn't the appropriate way to communicate with people of different languages. Computer translations are intended for 'gisting' purposes only.
