Just wandering how accurate this is? I am sure its not as good as a human translator, but is it good enough to use on a website?

I translated my page into spanish using google, then translated it back to English. Below is what it gave me:

That is very strange but funny in two ways...... that it is a load of rubbish and google got it wrong!

 

[admans]

Not a good technique from the views i see...it converts v comically .....hehe

 

[i386]

I prefer Systran's software.

 

[Zubair1]

maybe you could try to build a script to do this for you site,
like these bulletin board system has it

 

[J_Ronaldo_19]

roofing tiles means texas lol well that is interesting but i knew that google isn't that good because i did it with a spanish friend and he didn't get a word

 

[nasaboy007]

yeah google translate is good enuf to help u with the one word answers for your spanish homework, but for whole websites? it sucks lol

 

[jamx551]

I prefer Systran's software.

is it free?? How do we install that into our site?


Or do you have other recommendations??

 

[nasaboy007]

i think systran is a paid software, but if im not mistaken, systran.com also has an online text translator. idk if its the same program or what, so i would test it.
