Translation Programs

Systran Translation Software TO BE USED WITH CAUTION. This software will translate any text you care to enter (it will even accept URLs of pages you'd like to translate), BUT, there will inevitably be errors. Even if you manage to correct the errors, the resulting text will sound awkward because of fundamental syntax differences between the source language and the target language. Most important of all, using this program is NO SUBSTITUTE FOR LEARNING HOW TO WRITE.
