Online
Language Translation & Dictionaries
Below are a series of online
translators that can be used for free to translate texts or
words between different languages. Be aware that the translations
are generally inaccurate, irreceptive to colloquium, or altogether
false. The flags of languages used at the left sidebar of
the EHL are the best translations possible. The more obscure
the translated language, the more inaccurate and difficult.
The most generally-accurate languages used in online translation
are English, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, and
Portuguese. Bulgarian, Romanian, or Slovenian, for example,
would likely have the worst. To get the best translation,
use words and grammar that are most professional and appropriate
for the target language. If you have any additional translation
programs or dictionaries, please notify
us immediately.
