Does anyone know how the babelfish translator works please?

Copy the wording that you want translated, paste into "Translate a block of text" box, select what translation you want ie French to English, click the translate button.

You can also copy and paste a website url and read whatever is on the site in the language of your choice.

Dom,

If you are going to use it to translate anything important then watch out as it is a very basic translator of words and word structures. To test it try tranlating something into another language and have it translate the output back into english - it gives you really amusing results!!

That's a real laugh. Type in some song lyrics (Bob Dylan is good) and translate into a language then translate that back into English and see if anyone can recognise it.

How many road the jaunt of man downward before we can causing by its person. How many sea must white dove sail before he will sleep on the sand?

The answer? Well, I think we know where that is...
