ResearchBuzz! -- Search engine news and information.: "Fagan Releases Translation Tool
Tired of visiting all the online translation sites to find the one you need? Michael Fagan's Translation Wizard gathers up over 40 tools and puts them all together through one interface. It's available at http://www.faganfinder.com/translate/ .
If you've ever used Babelfish or Google's translator this will look familiar to you. Enter text or an URL choose the languages (the languages go from Afrikaans to Yiddish and include Arabic and traditional and simplified Chinese) and choose translate. There's also a neat link called 'switch,' which will switch your from and to languages.
Another interesting feature is the 'identify language' button, for when you know you want to translate it but you don't know what it is. When I tested it I discovered you had to use a critical mass of words; I couldn't just put in one phrase and get a language listing back.
Instructions for using the Wizard are available at http://www.faganfinder.com/translate/info.php . A list of sources drawn on by the Wizard is at http://www.faganfinder.com/translate/tool.php . "
