What is a really accurate and professional (and free) translator?

One that is good with English, Spanish, French, Russian, etc

One that real translators use

Maybe even one that translates Ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, etc if such a thing is real, but not a necessity, that would just be cool



I guess I am just looking for something clean and simple and all around an excellent translatorWhat is a really accurate and professional (and free) translator?
Sorry, but there is NO good online translator. People will swear by Google Translate or Babblefish (or a handful of others) but what they don't realize is that the people who actually speak or read the destination language laugh their butts off at the translations.



I've had students鈥攁t university level鈥攈and in translation assignments done by translation software. Needless to say it is *always* noticeable and the university doesn't look kindly on academic fraud.



YOU WILL NOT SOUND PROFESSIONAL IF YOU USE ONLINE TRANSLATION. YOU WILL NOT FOOL ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE LANGUAGE.



Take a look through the translations question on this forum. Look at the answers given by people who used online translation then look at the answers from native speakers or mid-level (sometimes even beginner) students.



ETA:

If you're "well aware of the flaws of online and computer translation" then why did you ask "what is a really accurate and professional translator?" Why did you ask for "one that is good with [various languages]"? Best of all, why, if you want to be a translator, did you ask for an online translator "that real translators use"?



Sorry if I seem to be hard on you, but something here just doesn't add up. At the very least you've wasted the time of three people.

OK, now we're on the right track; "a step above a multilingual dictionary and a step below a full online translator"鈥攄one, see link.



You can search for full terms and phrases鈥攕ometimes they're in the dictionary but usually they'll be in the forums; scroll down past the dictionary definitions to get to relevant forum posts. If you need a translation that hasn't yet been covered just join the forums and ask away.



I hope you can understand the frustration of taking the time to answer a question only to find out some conflicting information. In addition it did seem that you were looking for something that doesn't exist, but yet you said that you knew it didn't exist. And remember, it's your time too!



Hopefully WordReference will be just what you're looking for. It's not instant, but it is quality: native speakers, linguists, learners, and more. Good luck with it!What is a really accurate and professional (and free) translator?
Really accurate and professional translators are human beings. No "automatic" online translator can understand context and pick the right meaning among many possibilities. Real translators use dictionaries and their own expertise and linguistic abilities. Their time is not free, nor should it be. If you are interested in accuracy, you are going to have to pay for it. If you don't care about accurate communication, just keep on using the online "automatic translators." It's a trade-off.



Wondercow is right. You are wasting your time and ours. What you are looking for does not exist except in some Star Trek fantasy world.What is a really accurate and professional (and free) translator?
