Translate Website Text - Accurate & Fast

The Power of Online Translation Tools

The Internet’s strength lies in its capacity to connect people with information globally. To fully leverage content from around the world, the ability to translate different languages is essential.

Yahoo's Babel Fish

Babel Fish has been a readily available translation service since 1994, consistently providing reasonably accurate translations. Users can either copy and paste text directly into the provided field on the website, or submit a URL for complete page translation.

The translation is then presented in a side-by-side format for easy comparison.

Yahoo provides Babel Fish integration within its Toolbar, and also offers a convenient tool for website owners to incorporate translation functionality directly onto their sites.

Google Translate

As expected, the leading search engine, Google, also offers a robust translation service – Google Translate. Translation is available directly on the site, and through a convenient “no click” translation feature integrated into the Google Toolbar.

Furthermore, a simple gadget can be added to webpages, enabling visitors to translate content with ease.

The service provides both site-based translation and the streamlined experience of the Google Toolbar.

Firefox Add-ons for Translation

For users of the Firefox browser, two helpful add-ons are available: the Unofficial Google Translate Firefox extension and gTranslate. Both extensions function similarly, leveraging the power of Google Translate for their translations.

To use them, simply highlight the desired text and select the target language combination. An example demonstrates gTranslate translating from English to Arabic.

The developer of the Unofficial Google Translate Firefox extension has created a helpful video tutorial demonstrating its usage.
