In many ways the internet has been making
the world a smaller place. To help break down language barriers there are
many free online language translation websites out there. The
translations are done by computers that simply match words from different
languages together. It's called a "machine translation."
Unfortunately the results are not always that good. In the boxes above I
used
http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en (Google Language Tools) to
translate the English text into other languages. Looks pretty impressive
doesn’t it? Below I have translated the foreign languages back to English
using the same translator. The results speak for themselves:

There are still some
practical applications even for these primitive language translators. For
example, in computer class students use them to translate news stories
from foreign languages. In this way students could do a current event
story from a foreign newspaper for instance. Imagine growing up being
able to get the gist of what is being said on the front pages of the
world.
Google, Alta Vista as
well as many other websites offer free machine translations of foreign
language websites.
I have listed a few of
these sites below:
