Translate text and webpages- Altavista Babel Fish

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

AltaVista Babel Fish Translation enables you to translate short passages of text or entire Web sites among 19 pairs of languages.

As an automatic translator, Babel Fish works best when the text you wish to translate uses proper grammar. Slang, misspelled words, poorly placed punctuation and complex or lengthy sentences can all cause a page to be translated incorrectly. Expect Babel Fish to allow you to grasp the general intent of the original, not to produce a polished translation.

To Translate Your Own Text

• Type or paste text into the “Translate a block of text” text box.
• Select the language pair from the list (for example, English to French).
• Click the Translate button.

Babel Fish translates text up to about 150 words at a time

To enter special characters
To enter accented or Russian characters, click the World Keyboard link. An on-screen “virtual keyboard” will appear. You can add characters to the text box by either clicking on the keys or typing with your physical keyboard. The World Keyboard link turns your physical keyboard into the international keyboard of your choice. To return your physical keyboard to normal operation, just click the close box on the virtual keyboard. After you close the keyboard, press Control-k to use it again.

Tips
To enter accents, click first the accent and then the character it appears with. To type capital letters, click the Shift key and then the letter.
Be sure your Windows control panel keyboard is set to English. The World Keyboard does not run on Macintosh computers.

To Translate a Web Page

• Enter the address of the page you wish to translate into the “Translate a Web page” text box.
• Select the language pair from the list (for example, German to English).
• Click the Translate button.

Babel Fish translates individual Web pages up to 10K. When you click a link, the linked page is also automatically translated.

Wikipedia, the free ENCYCLOPEDIA

http://en.wikipedia.org/ is the communal encyclopedia that anyone can edit. The content of Wikipedia is free, written collaboratively by people from all around the world. This website is a wiki, which means that anyone with access to an Internet-connected computer can edit entries simply by clicking on the edit this page link.
This site is terrific if you desire knowledge. Just type what you are looking for and presto you get information, pictures, links to the topic. Even as you read the information, there are hyperlinks incase you want more information on a particular topic in the information provided.

I love the format of this site. I was actually shocked to know that this site is actually updated with information by people like YOU and ME. In other words, they don’t have a department or staff who update the knowledge base of the site. The only thing the staff does is verify the information updated by you.

The only drawback of this site is the search is not strong enough. For instance: I wanted to search the ‘THRILLER’ video from Michael Jackson. No matter what I typed with the word Thriller, it never led me to information on Michael Jackson’s thriller video. BUT, when I typed Michael Jackson, it gave me all the information on the king of pop and from there I was able to click on a link related to his thriller video.

Still I would say it is a great resource of knowledge. It goes deep into the search you made and gives you the maximum information needed. I find no harm in trying a hand on this website.
