Translators and Linguists

I’m trying to find a translator because I want to know how to say something in Japanese, but all of the translators I’ve tried puts it in japanese characters and I want to find one that would give English characters so I’ll know how to pronounce it. Would someone please help me?

Looks like you’ll need human help with this one. Try http://wikitranslation.org.

i really need to have a language translator for my studies. Please help ME!

google translate is inaccurate, so i just want to know if there is a free online translator for japanese that is exactly accurate?

I don’t know of any translators that handle the grammar very well, but if you can decode the word order and grammar, then www.rikai.com will give you the meanings of the kanji characters so you can figure out what is written.

I’ve never believed in God, even as a young boy. I’d like to read the bible, so I will at least be informed. I think I’d prefer to read the most accurate translation. Any suggestions?

I’d highly recommend the Oxford Study Bible, and even though it’s a little pricey, get Understanding the Bible (by Harris) with it. Such a good historical supplement. Totally worth the money.

Edit: And KJV is horrible and completely historically inaccurate. It can be proven that the KJV is censored and contrived, to use biased terms. Oxford Study Bible is as historically complete as possible and makes mention of where it’s not. It’s very objectively put together, and Understanding the Bible tells you exactly what went wrong with the KJV and pretty much all the rest. It’s seriously the single best book I’ve ever read.

Has anything changed its meaning entirely (or even slightly) due to translation issues?
Are christians 100% certain they are reading the true word of god?
Would you change your practices/beliefs if you learned there had been a translation error?

There is much debate over certain translations.

But what is a much more important question is why the books in the bible are considered correct rather than the numerous other books that were rejected. In other words it’s not specific words or phrases that are at question but the whole bible. It has been proven to be made up of texts based on here say and oral tradition, to be contradictory and inconsistent and in may instance at odds with archaeological research.

To put it bluntly, no half intelligent person after considering the evidence would put any stock in the bible. So argument over specific words is missing the point.

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

I usually use google translation, but it seems as if it always comes out wrong. I used to use babel fish but I got away from it because it more time consuming. Does anybody have a go-to site for english-french translation?

wordreference.com
It translates word for word but gives you alot of details. There’s also forums that you can join to get translations from native speakers.

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)."
