Text translation

[watchr12 1,476]

Can anyone suggest a good site for text translation? Google Translate has limited how much text it will translate at one time (used to be 5k characters, now much less). Also, I'd prefer not to have Google looking over my shoulder. I'm not looking for something that will translate a web page on the fly, but where text can be dropped into a field and translated into English.

Thanks!

I prefer Bing translate to Google translate - it works better. Not sure what the character limit is though.

Google limits each translation to 5000 characters, so it can take a while to translate anything longer than a fairly short story.

Thanks for the info!

Google Translate is about it, sorry. It used to work OK, but hasn't been worth it since they reduced the amount of text that can be processed in the field. Also, I'm staying away from Google-anything as much as possible.

I usually try google first for most things then move on when it does not work, that is how I ended up at Bing.
