Translators and Linguists

I need something that I can type in a phrase, not a word, but a whole phrase a sentence in english and it gives it back to me in Spanish.

This website shows a Spanish to English dictionary that looks like it’s a translator as well. Is that even possible?http://www.franklin.com/estore/dictionary/DBE-1470/

In a dictionary you can only search small words and sometimes compound words. You have to know the rest on how to make sense of sentences.

An online translator uses some computer algorythms to translate from one language onto another one, but it usually fails doing it correctly. Computers just can’t imitate the human mind, specially when it comes to languages.

The website you’ve provided is a dictionary, though it has some other interesting features: phrases, a verb conjugator and a small grammar guide. But if you put complete sentences you won’t get them translated.

I need to make a translator to translate a cipher laguage me and my freind created, how do i make a translator??

You have made a cipher language with what they call bindings for each letter of the alphabet.

Let’s take an example for the old Ceasar cipher. This cipher was created by Julius ceasar and is pretty basic. It just moves the alphabet a certain amount of numbers to the left. So let’s say the number it moves is 2.

If you type in C in the code, it would be translated as an A. A being 2 letter behind C, or A + 2 = C, or C – 2 = A.

Hopefully you get that, because I will work for that example.

So if you were to implement the Ceasar cipher, you would create a list, or array of the alphabet.

static char ALPHABET[] = {’A', ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, etc};

Then you would get the code you want to decipher. So just say it said something like "FCJJM UNPJB" which in English would be "HELLO WORLD"

So, you would go through the string "FCJJM UNPJB" changing every letter to the letter it should be.
In Java you would do something like this.
char deciphered = word.toCharArray();
for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) // where word is the string
int charValue = (int) deciphered[i] – 97; // minus 97 as the ASCII code for A is 97.
Now, you would want to find out if the charValue is below 2. If it is, you would add 26 – 2 to the charvalue to get the next letter.
For example, A would be 0, and you want to get 24, which is Y.
B would be 1, and you would get 25, which is Z.
If the charValue is 2 or above, you would just minus 2 from the charValue. C (2) would give you A (0).
if (charValue < 2)
charValue = charValue + 26 – 2;
else
charValue = charValue – 2;

Then change the char in deciphered.
deciphered[i] = ALPHABET[charValue];
} // end for loop

Ok, to get back to your example. if your code does not change, and you know that A refers to an S always, and B refers to an F always, you could do something like this.

Create an array of the alphabet as above.
Create another array of the letters that are for the letters of the alphabet.
static char CODE = {’S', ‘F’, etc};
The do the same for loop as above, but this time instead of changing the value of the charValue to -2 etc, do this.
deciphered[i] = CODE[ ALPHABET[ charValue ]];

Hope that is understandable. If not click on my profile and email me and I can explain more.

I’ve tried a couple and some are inconsistent and do alternate translations w/ no regard to the context or literal, one-word, stacatto translations that hurts me when it comes to translating longer excerpts of english into french and vice versa. Any suggestions? I’d like a link, please.

personally i always use FreeTranslation. it actually knows expressions and inversions unlike babelfish and a few others i tried. btw i acted mad at briggs a little; i’ll best answer you if u answer sum of my new q’s

I’ve been using google language tools to translate english to french but the translations aren’t very accurate. Does anyone know a really good (free) online site I can go to? Possibly a site that can translate french slang words too.

This is a good one I always use it: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
