Hi Ethan, When you say that the Yahoo translator gives you errors, do you mean errors on the site or do you mean inaccurate translations? If it's the latter, then I have to agree with Alice on this one, you're probably better off getting a human to translate the site for you. The problem with machine translators is that it doesn't translate sentences according to context, but rather it gives a literal word for word translation which is most of the time not accurate. As a translation student, I can tell you that it's very important to translate according to context, which is why I generally avoid machine translations when it comes to translating anything longer than just single words.
If you want to translate single words or terms, there's the Termium Plus, a free service provided by the Canadian Government on the language portal site. It's open to anyone to use, and you can translate terms to and from English, French and Spanish. However, like I said, for long texts and websites, you're better off getting a human to translate it as the results would be far more accurate. Sorry for rambling! LOL! But I hope I was of some help! If anyone would like the link to the Termium website, let me know and I'll be glad to send you that link privately. Cheers, Siena.
