About Google Translate
Google Translate is a free web service from Google that translates between languages using machine translation. You can type or paste text, translate whole documents, or enter a website address to read a page in another language.
It suits quick everyday translation, such as reading a foreign-language page or drafting a short message. For important documents, machine output should be checked by a fluent speaker.
