Translation please...
« on: September 04, 2006, 10:40:30 am »
Is there any way to automatically translate text on a website? Some kind of program that recognises the "foreign" characters maybe?
A way to translate user submitted comments when some are in English and others in Japanese for example.

You can try BabelFish. Just do a google search for it. It has quite a few langauge translations.

Thanks, I bookmarked the page after I did the search.

So there isn't a program that can be installed into Windows that does it automatically?

I'm really not sure, I could look for a Firefox addon, but I imagine the Database for such a thing would prohibite it.

I think the Yahoo toolbar has one, but it kinda sucks as I recall
