I need to translate an on line book from Spanish to English. Can someone

possibly direct me to the correct place. I am trying to avoid buying the

Another site you can try, for translations, is



babelfish.altavista.com



If the source site is presenting GIF or JPG images prepared

from a scan of the book, a translation web site will not

help you. You would need to do optical character recognition (OCR)

on the GIF or JPG image first, to get Spanish text, then use

one of the translation websites to convert that text.



Translation web sites may have a limit as to the amount of

text they will translate in one shot. In some cases, that

means translating the text in pieces, until the entire document

is translated.

There is no translator software that will translate from/to English

correctly. Just try a cheapo demo. Put in a short sentence,

translate...take the result and reverse it back. Do this a few times

and have a laugh. It is nothing like what you put in originally.

English is the odd European language. I use a Spanish/English

translator every day and still have to do the corrections to make

sense.
 
I think this one is the best one franktee... I use it to translate text and

webpages too.
