Please, a better translation site than Babelfish?

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

Babelfish was never great but at least it was something.

Now that Yahoo owns it I find it more annoying than ever when it's useless, which is almost always.

Can you recommend a better site?

Specifically I need Spanish-to-English and sometimes French-to-English, and less often English-to-Spanish.

Thanks for any suggestions.

2. Try Google Translate it's very good and gives you a chance to

submit so they can translate it more carefully, but that takes a few hours rather than the instant translation that it does first.

4. That's great to know

I hate submitting text to Babelfish and getting back a mishmash of broken English and foreign words it doesn't recognize.

Thanks!

5. Intertran is one of my favorites... link below:

This company sells a variety of translation services, but this translator is free.
It's a good tool.

6. Many thanks

I gave it a test run and it gave the text a good shot, considering it was written by a bilingual person who uses a mix of North, Central and South American dialects. Thanks so much - I have bookmarked.

7. But, but, but

they (none of them) have not been able to translate Palin-speak.

8. Yep your right odd or strange dialects it has trouble with also double speak

but I guess a translator came out in the book 1984.
