Translators and Linguists

I need an online translator for some projects at school.

If it’s for school, forget it. There is no such thing as a free Latin/Greek translator. There are too many things in Latin and Greek where you have to know things like the sex of the subject, how many there are, stuff like that that usually just doesn’t matter in English. If it’s just words you’re trying to translate, then I suggest just dictionary.com It’ll show you what Latin or Greek word something comes from (though remember, most of English is actually derived from German).

I would like to know of a free online translation program to translate some phrases from English to Russian (Not cyrillic, but latin Alphabet). Thanks!

you can translate from English to Russian here http://www.perevodslov.ru/onlinep.html

But mark "транслит" and Russian text will be written with latin alphabet. Without "транслит" you’ll see cyrillic alphabet.

How do I make an online translator, like Google Translate or Babelfish ? Would I need MySQL and PHP ?
tnofic – I didn’t say I wanted to USE one, I wanted to MAKE one. Stop spamming just to get the points.

You just need a means to read user input and then a database or txt file with the dictionaries to search for the words they wrote. You can do it with MySQL and PHP but there are other ways … javascript could probably do it

You wont’ find a tutorial here though, good luck!

I need to translate Malay to English. Is there such thing online?

try www.translationbooth.com

Could someone please find an online translator that is: accurate/professional, and free.

I’ve tried a few, and the best one that works for me and is accurate 90% of the time is Google Translator. This is the one I use and I find it pretty reliable. However, I am sure there are others out there.

I’m into latin, and after I type "I am sick" it came up "Ego Sum Infirmus" and when I translate that into english it came up "I to be not strong" and when I translate that into latin it came "EGO ut exsisto infirmus" which means "I when to emerge not strong"

and that was intertran, is there any good translator ONLINE! that have things like latin and whatnot and can translate it without using a bunch of nonsenses

There isn`t really a "good" online translator. You will almost always get bad quality translations from websites, especially when it comes to languages, like Latin, that have complex grammar.

I need a good English to Japanese online translator soon because i want to learn to speak Japanese fluently.

Unfortunately, online translators are incredibly flawed. After even just 1 year of studying Japanese, you can usually (with a dictionary handy) do a better job at translating than they can. For any even sensical translation, you’re going to have to either learn it yourself the hard way or ask someone who speaks the language. To check, just copy a few Japanese sentences into any translator and see how much sense they make. That’s roughly how coherent they’ll be translating into Japanese.

If you can’t take classes, I’d advise you check JapanesePod101 either via iTunes or on the internet for some basic lessons that’ll help you with some simple vocabulary and grammar and also look into buying some books. Still, nothing can replace actual instruction, but it can help and you’ll learn what you want to know if you’re willing to work hard. Good luck! By the way, links to two websites I mentioned are provided below, in sources.

Is there a good free online computer translator to translate from English to Tagalog, and from Tagalog to English? I have two very good college friends who speak English but their parents’ English is a little shaky, and I wanted to email the parents (whom I have had many interactions with) short notes in Tagalog so they could better understand. Thanks!

sad to say, i tried testing english-tagalog computer translators and they weren’t good enough. they don’t give sense at all. most translations are very misleading and will only result to more confusion. i think it would be best for your two filipino college friends or an online filipino buddy to translate it for you . or just write to them in english. most (if not all) filipinos were taught with english from kindergarten to college so it’s very hard to think that they can’t understand short notes written in english.
