Hi Beverly, Are you on the CCA web site? If so, it's best to type up the navigation directions or copy the URL of the record and post it to make sure we see the correct record.
If you want to use a translation site, you will have to type up the record by hand, spelling out any abbreviations and putting in the diacritics (accented letters). The translation site will do a so-so job. A line by line translation guide can be found on the Azores Genweb here: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/HowTo_Part_3a.html#reading You have to train yourself to sort of read the records. It does take some effort. But once you get over the learning curve and get the hang of it, it's not too bad.
