Online translation...

Free Online translation: Online translators or online translation is a web-based tool based on machine translation, which can translate single words, paragraphs or even complete websites. The most prominent free online translation software is Google’s language tools and AltaVista’s Babel Fish. Initially, translation was considered only a human activity, but now it has been successfully automated. These days, computers fitted with translation software can easily translate the text of one language to another. Online translation software can translate nearly all the spoken languages in the world from Latin, German, and French to even oriental languages like Japanese and Korean.

The free online translation software, also known as machine translation, performs two translation processes:

• Decoding the meaning of one text, which can be called the source text
• Re-coding of that source text into the target text

This may seem like a simple procedure, but is quite complex. For an accurate translation, the text that is re-coded must be correct grammatically, and should have a clear comprehension of the linguistic practices of the target text. Therein lies the problem. A human translator can do this job easily because he is aware of both the language cultures, and uses common sense when the target audience has trouble in understanding the translation. Which he solves by using a different technique, or alternative words, to explain, which cannot be done by a computer. However, this problem has been fixed, by using the method based on linguistic rules, i.e. the words are translated into the most suited orally spoken ones.
