Google Translate
http://translate.google.com
 | You might find it very useful to type a piece of text in your own language and to have a reasonably accurate translation appear instantly on the screen. Imagine, one could type a text in Catalan and ask that it be translated into Chinese. |
The service is offered in 34 languages, including Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish. An amazing time saver. But do remember, machine translation is not 100% accurate ... don't use it for your homework!
