I prefer to use Altavista Babelfish translator.
There is a good website with many translators on one page. See Language Translation on Langenberg.com |

I think Google would be better in the long range, due to the fact they receive users' feedback systematically. Their feedback system is stated as followings at http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/faq_translation.html#quality

The translation quality isn't as good as I'd like it to be. Can you make it more accurate?
We're constantly working on it. Even today's most sophisticated software, however, doesn't approach the fluency of a native speaker or possess the skill of a professional translator. Automatic translation is very difficult, as the meaning of words depends on the context in which they're used. While we are working on the problem, it may be some time before anyone can offer human quality translations. In the interim, we hope you find the service we provide useful for most purposes.
Also, in order to improve quality, we need large amounts of bilingual text. If you have large amounts of bilingual or multilingual texts you'd like to contribute, please let us know.
How do I provide feedback to Google?
You can provide us feedback when translating text by clicking the "Suggest a better translation" link or when translating web pages by hovering over the translated text (to display the original text tooltip) and clicking the "Suggest a better translation" link.
How will Google use my feedback?
We'll use your feedback to improve translation quality in future updates to the language pairs we've developed. |
