Are you talking about a translator, or about the dialectizers on this thread: BS: Dialect

The AltaVista site doesn't allow for longer chunks of text now, like it used to. But it is still very useful. For serious translation, however, one must have a book of verb tenses to go along with it, for double-checking. And for diacritical marks, best type it in Word then cut and paste the text into the window. Without diacriticals it doesn't work properly--it doesn't make assumptions about their presence if you can't type them in.

babelfish is on alta vista-from a book (restaurant at the end of the universe?) it is a thing which if inserted in one's ear allowed you to understand what any one saidin any language
stick it in your ear

Are you referring to 'babelfish'?

I found out about this site, here at the Mudcat, and used to use it because they had a free online service, but I don't see it anymore: click.

Seems to me I remember a more recent one, but it's not coming to me at the moment. Someone will remember, I am sure.:-)

Good luck,

kat

look below and see the word "Translate". Don't feel embarrassed - I was told in exactly the same way.

Hi, can anyone help me. A while ago I found a site which converts phrases into a number of language styles. I think I followed a link someone posted on a mudcat thread. Can anyone help me find that site.
Thanks.
