These free translation tools like ours at www.appliedlanguage.com are great for getting a gist of a translated text. They are very good at short straightforward text but should not be relied on when a high degree of accuracy is needed. Computers are very clever but they still can't beat the quality and accuracy of a human translator. This is why Applied Language only charges for professional human translation and doesn’t charge for using the machine translation on our website.
