Re: Automatic translation tool for web pages

Just so long as you don't expect the Spanish ones to make sense to an  
English reader and vice versa Nathan.

Have you looked at translated output? Google does a better job than  
many - but it is a rare day indeed when the translated version makes  
much sense.  Probably romance language to romance language (French to  
Spanish for example) may be better than French to English - but it is  
generally pretty ugly. If you use a commercial tool they normally take  
context into account (medical, computer, legal, etc.) the on-line ones  
don't have that luxury.
