Can anyone translate Spanish?

**LavenderLounge** · 01-18-2007, 09:48 PM

I got a spam from a company that offers to translate websites into 10 languages for $15 a month.

Here's an example. Can someone who reads Spanish please check if it makes any sense, or is it just machine-generated babble?

I'm from Barcelona (SPAIN)

the translation is patetic, maybe if you use this tool
http://babelfish.altavista.com/
you will get better translation ;-)

I also recommend inserting the little fishy in your ear!

Babel Fish (Alta Vista) is the best free online translator. I use it every day (customer & webmaster support etc). I also use it to translate sites in to English.

It looks like they have used the Systran software as oppose to something totally automated like BabelFish.

If you are looking for translation work, shoot me a PM that is something we've been doing as a company since the late 90's (we were the first company in the industry to offer translation services) and we've worked for many of the industries reputable companies, AEBN, Platinum Bucks, Payserve, ARS, etc etc.

I will say however that our services arent 'cheap' you get quality work from people that speak and live in the country who's language you are wanting.

To give you an idea of cost, on a per word basis, you are looking at around $0.20 to $0.52 per word depending on the language and how quickly we can fit you in to our existing work schedule (which right now it packed pretty solid).

Thanks, the responses were pretty much as I suspected. I'm not currently in the market for translation service, but it seemed so cheap, I thought I'd check.
