Language Translation Web sites
Research Tips August 12th. 2008, 1:22pmThe King County Superior Court has an Office of Interpreter Services which obtains interpreters for more than 100 different languages to assist non-English speakers with court matters. Here in the King County Law Library we provide public computers for visitors to the court, including those who are working with Interpreters.The following is a short list of Internet based translator services that may help when working with a language other than English.
The first site is Babelfish, which is now part of Yahoo. Babelfish has been around for years and gives a basic translation for twelve different languages, from Chinese and Dutch to Russian. Access Babelfish here.
Google has a translation service in beta that claims to translate over 20 different languages and includes Croation and Swedish among its selections. Access Google Translate here.
A commercial site titled Free Translation, links to in person translators for more than brief translations, and includes limited language selctions, but is another option. Access Free Translation here.
One last web site is Gramtrans, which specializes in English, Swedish, Danish, Portuguese and Norwegian, and works well between these five languages. Access Gramtrans here.
There are others, but these four can give you a good start.
