Babel Fish Translations

Translate up to 150 words from English to another language (or vice versa) with the Babel Fish Translator — named after the multi-lingual creature from Douglas Adams' novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Translate easily from any of these languages:

  • Chinese
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish

This tool can be a handy resource for Web research, enabling you to read text on foreign language sites. Just for fun, try typing a sentence of your own and translating to another language. Now copy and paste the translation into the main window and translate it back to English. How close do you get to the original?
