Babelfish

My daughter and I found this site some years ago. Now it is connected to Yahoo. Anyway, it is easier to use now and I'm glad we found it again. It's called Babelfish and what it does is translate languages! Say you have a friend from France who has sent you a note in French. Copy and paste it in the form box and pull the menu shade down to "from french to English." Then click the magic "translate button!" Viola!

Or say you want to send your French buddy a note and you aren't sure how to say it in French. Type the message in English and have it translated to French. Then copy and paste your translation into your email for your friend.

Another thing the tool does is translate entire web pages for you! Cool! Warning though, some phrases don't translate well, in some languages, so if your friend should email or IM a "Huh?" then you will know it's one of those hard-to-translate phrases.

Try it out! http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt

Vision for Trinity
