German Translation Tools

April 22nd, 2007 by Deanne

There are several good internet resources to help you translate German websites, or your mail, or your phone bill, etc. There are direct links to each of these sites from the Munich Kids home page.  Look under “Useful Links”

Google Language Tools -  http://www.google.com/language_tools

  • You can cut and paste text into the “Translate Text” box, or type in the website address to have the entire web page translated.  Text can be translated from almost any language into any other language.

Free Translation Serviceshttp://www.freetranslation.com

  • This site has a free text translator that allows you to type or paste text. Translation can be to, or from, English from 11 different languages.  The translations can sound clunky, but you can understand the basic meaning of the text.  Professional translations are also available through this site, but for a hefty fee.

LEO Deutsch-Englischhttp://dict.leo.org

  • This is an online dictionary.  It’s very helpful for those words that don’t translate well when you use an online text translator.  Also available are LEO on-line dictionaries that translate between German and French or between German and Spanish.
