Anyone know of a good website to translate English to another language? I'm looking for Armenian. A friend of mine just sent us a Christening invite in both English and Greek and said she used a program.......
TIA

Re: translations?
Hi I don't know how the Armenian language is.
But I can say from experience (translating English to Chinese for my invites) that any online translation is HORRIBLE. They translate word for word and often it's not a literal translation.
I think it might be a good place to start or to look up individual words. But not for whole phrases.
I did it the online way first and my brother pretty much laughed in my face.
Do you have someone who can proofread the translations for you?

also agree that the online translators stink. I used to use babel fish to translate from english to italian to email my cousin in Italy, and she told my dad that what was translated was very hard to understand.

I agree, but I do have someone who can proofread for me. I just don't know how to 'TYPE' it in the characters....
