Word Translation!

[bruce5755]

Does any-one know if there is a program that can translate a word document of mine into another language.  I want to write to a Belgian company but I don't speak Belgian myself.

Thanx.

use google language tools:

copy and paste the text into the box there :)

Hi Bruce ! There is a tool called babelfish, you can find it there : http://babelfish.altavista.com/

I warn you though , it 's ok for word by word translation but absolutely crap for a text, as it translates each word separately, and you run the risk of it coming up with something completely absurd.

Do you know what language you want your letter translated into ? Is it french or flemish ? ( They have both in Belgium ).

If it's french, you could post your letter on here, and I'll do it for you. I'm not a professional, but I'm studying to become one and I translate stuff everyday for work. So I might be able to help you there.

Just wanted to say a big Thankyou for those sites, I'll tell you I've just had the biggest laugh I've had in ages!

I wanted to tell an annoying French/Belgian company what to do with their junkmail.  "Why don't you go suck a fish" looks very interesting in French!    "Pourquoi pas  vous aller sucez un poisson!"

Thanx once again.
