It is about how Google Translate works, and why it usually outperforms other automatic translators. To verify this claim, I translated a piece from English to Russian. The result was not perfect but it was very good. Here is what to do:

  1. Go to http://translategoogle.com

  2. Specify languages, for example, English –> Russian

  3. Paste (or type) the text to be translated.

  4. Click on the “translate” button

The translated text will appear at once. You can just read it or cut-and-paste it into another document.

It’s easy to laugh at some of the silly translations it can make but this article made me appreciation Google’s massive efforts much more.
