Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Assunto: Translations

I ask if somewhere the translators web sites had been evaluated.
If yes
would you tell the address,
else
would you tell which you recommand?

Recently I used "Babel fish" (french --> spanish) with sometime lame, sometime funny, odd translations.
I know there isn't a perfect translator. I just ask if exists a less dubious translator ;-)

Assunto: Re: Translations

P-G: If you use Firefox, there is a neat add on called Hyperwords that has a decent translator. I use it quite often. It doesn't have every language, but it is very convenient. I simply highlight the text I want translated and a menu pops up, and I choose "translate" and it changes the highlighted text to the language I requested, right on the page. (No need to go to another website) It is certainly not perfect, but I, personally, am very happy with it.

You need to be using Firefox as your browser, however.
