LANGUAGE TRANSLATORS
Alta Vista Babelfish - is the the original on-line translator. It does twelve languages to/from English, plus a number of 'cross translations' (e.g. Portuguese to French)
Google Translate - Currently, Google offers the following language pairs:
PROMT On-Line Text Translator - offers free Text Translation service for English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian and Russian languages. The service is powered by @promt 7.0 translation software
Reverso - only does five - English to/from French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian - but is the one I use most often as it handles special characters, such as accents, very well.
SUGGESTION: For 'mission critical' translations, use one translator to go one way and then a different one to take the text in the opposite direction. That often shows up anomalies which are not apparent when using only one translator
