I have a Nokia 5230. Is there any free language translator (specifically english to spanish) that I can download to use?
try a search in yahoo or google. also can try at getjar.com they have translators on there site
The google translator translates sentences from one language to another (though the translation is not always correct). I would like to know how it works. Whether it has a database of all the words in all the supported languages with their corresponding meanings? Or if it uses some other mechanism or perhaps an algorithm for the translation.
It’s statistically-based machine translation[1]. Read all about that in Wikipedia[2].
My take on the articles is this: There is a special database of documents[2] that are translated into various languages–a really big Rosetta stone. The phrase to be translated is located in a document of the source language then cross-referenced to the various translations in the target language. Of the various possible translations, statistical analysts is used to determine which to use. Grammar and other elements of language are considered in the analysis.
What follows is a quote from the beginning of Wikipedia’s description of the basis of statistically-based machine translation. After the quote, it gets very involved in information theory:
"The idea behind statistical machine translation comes from information theory. A document is translated according to the probability distribution p(e | f) that a string e in the target language (for example, English) is the translation of a string f in the source language (for example, French)."

I have to translate some stuff for a French project, but the translators that I have been using are not very accurate and I don’t want a bad grade for incorrect translations. What is the most accurate translator available for free on the internet?
And btw i’m not cheating, I was given permission to use a translator because i’m translating sentences that we haven’t learned in class yet.
I am on Mary and Orla’s side. One, online translators ARE hopeless. You will surely get bad marks by using them.
They are MACHINES, machines that cannot cope as soon as you want to translate even the slightest degree of complicated sentence. They CAN’T translate expressions or idioms, they CAN’T give you multiple options with all the explanations like a dictionary can. They DON’T have a big vocabulary, and they WILL make you look stupid —- all it takes is one sentence, one verb, one word to be wrong and you look stupid.
You should not be studying a language if you are not going to use a dictionary, if you HAVE to learn a language, you should still learn it properly.
By the way, having to write things in a second language that you haven’t learned yet is a silly idea, what’s more, you don’t learn anything from online translators.
Yahoo Messenger, Babelfish or Google translator.. Is there one you use that is perfect?
English to Italian- sorry for not including that.
Hi, I only use Google Translate. It’s good when you need just one word, and have an idea what you’re looking for.
But to be honest, when it comes to sentences or totally unknown languages, none of them can be trusted, sorry.
Bye !
I want simplified Chinese Translated into Pinyin
so you can have Pinyin to Chinese, but not Chinese to Pinyin? What a load of shit
due to the fact that there are many duoyinzi, no reasonably accurate translator is possible.
PS. aparently you did not bother to find out what is duoyinzi, did you?
Okay, so I play this game and people are speaking a language that I don’t know. Here is a sentence: aah mnik mn8her wla bga 3nde 9ber roo7 5la9 5la9 w gool frgna el gdar

Anybody know any language translating software that I can use in Yahoo mail? I get some emails from Japan, but Yahoo mail does’nt show Japanese characters. I’m using a Mac OS and the people that I get emails from don’t speak or write English. Thanks.
I know how to encode Japanese for internet explorer for windows, but I do not know about macs. You just press view on the top of the screen, then encoding, then more, and then japanese. Sorry if I am not helping if macs are different, but I can read Japanese on my yahoo mail.
