Since it's electronic, it doens't always translate right! I wrote a simple sentence in English to be translated into Russian, and it gave me a funny answer! :D

Just thougth you should know.

Doesn't work well for Arabic either.

Right like I said its not complete its still in Beta. But for a free translation program its still kind of cute. I'll check it out once the testing is complete.

It's been out for close to a year. I don't think it will get much better. This is why human translators are in high demand. It did fine with Aboujen's post, but Mary's is a mess.

Yeah we had some of that too last night, but it was fun. Google has its hands in just about everything and unfortunately BETA testing can last for years depending on the program, specifically if it non-fee based. However, you are 100% human transation is always best.

I find the same problems with babel fish translations. You have to use simple sentence structure, avoid any colloquialisms, etc...

and YES Jenn I can read it, but only with my glasses! why does the arabic acript have to be soooooo small?
