Online Translators - Machine Translation
Machine translation refers to any kind of automatic translation, including translation software, hand-held translators, and online translators. Take a look at this article for a discussion about the top online translators and how well they do.
Online Translation - French Class Project
Online translators can be a blessing or a curse. If you don't speak a word of a foreign language, an online translator can give you the gist of a web page's meaning. However, the translation will likely be full of errors and strange wording. French students may be uninformed about these online translation problems and may try to get away with using one in order to lessen their workload. This project can help them understand why it's not a good idea.
