• Links to online translation and translators
  Most of the sites listed on this page provide free online translation of text and/or webpages between a number of different languages. Please note Online translation sites enable you to understand the gist of a piece of foreign text or website, but are not entirely accurate or reliable and are no substitute for a human translator. Use them cautiously with students who have fairly well-developed skills in their home language, so they will recognize the errors.
