Another, similar service:

http://pro-tran.com/index.html#Webseiten-Uebersetzung

I am not recommending a particular supplier of translations, just
trying to see what you think of this type of service. If you would
like me to gather info on several such services, I'll be glad to do
so. I can't make any personal recommendations, since I have never used
this type of service.

Hi again, Randy.

My good friend and colleague Bobbie7 found some excellent resources
for another Google Answers customer. Some of this material may be of
interest to you:

Randy,

From your comment below, it's not entirely clear whether you are
needing more assistance or not. If you'd like me to post an official
answer, I'll be glad to do so. You may also want to consider allowing
Bobbie (who posted the excellent material in the Google Answer linked
above) to post an answer and collect the fee. It's entirely up to you.

Randy,

I'm glad to have been able to help you find some options for having
your new website translated. I've reposted the links below:

GlobalDialogs
http://www.globaldialogs.ch/englisch/web_e.htm

Pro-Tran
http://pro-tran.com/index.html#Webseiten-Uebersetzung

You can find many similar services by using this search link:

Google Web Search: "website translation OR translators"

Good luck with your new website! Let us know if you need any more
help. Once things are running and ready for the public, it would be
great if you'd post a link here so that your Google Answers friends
can stop by for an online visit. Some of us feel as if we know you,
even if we live many miles away.

Best wishes,
pinkfreud

Randy,

Regarding your remark about my working early in the morning, I think
you may be referring to a comment made by am777-ga (Anne-Marie). She
is not a Google Answers Researcher, so I wouldn't say that she is
"working." Hee hee. And she lives in England, I believe. It's always a
lot later over there. Their clocks apparently run differently from
ours. ;-)

outstanding work

Greetings Randy,

Nice to see you again!  One of the problems of a software program for
translation is that it seldoms reads correctly in the translated
language.

EX: At Babelfish (http://world.altavista.com/), I ran the GA
disclaimer (bottom of this page) through their translator
English>Spanish and then put the translation back through
Spanish>English:

ORIGINAL DISCLAIMER: Answers and comments provided on Google Answers
are general information, and are not intended to substitute for
informed professional medical, psychiatric, psychological, tax, legal,
investment, accounting, or other professional advice. Google does not
endorse, and expressly disclaims liability for any product,
manufacturer, distributor, service or service provider mentioned or
any opinion expressed in answers or comments. Please read carefully
the Google Answers Terms of Service.

SPANISH TRANSLATION: Las respuestas y los comentarios proporcionados
en las respuestas de Google son información de carácter general, y no
se piensan substituir para médico profesional, psiquiátrico informado,
psicologico, el impuesto, legal, la inversión, la contabilidad, o el
otro consejo profesional. Google no endosa, y expreso niega la
responsabilidad por cualquier producto, fabricante, distribuidor,
servicio o abastecedor de servicio mencionado o cualquier opinión
expresada en respuestas o comentarios. Por favor leído cuidadosamente
el Google contesta a términos del servicio.

SPANISH TRANSLATION BACK TO ENGLISH: The answers and the commentaries
provided in the answers of Google are information of general
character, and they do not think to replace for professional,
psychiatric doctor informed, psicologico, the tax, legal, the
investment, the accounting, or the other professional advice. Google
does not endorse, and express denies the responsibility by any
product, manufacturer, distributor, service or supplier on watch
mentioned or any opinion expressed in answers or commentaries. Please
read carefully the Google it answers terms of the service.


You can see the differences between the original disclaimer and the
re-translated disclaimer.  Sometimes results of this nature can be
even more humorous.

Your best bet is to decide what languages you want the website
translated into, and then contact each separately.  Only that way will
your translations be exact.

Best regards,
journalist-ga

not sure whether I would trust these people to take care of my translation

http://www.globaldialogs.ch/englisch/web_e.htm........as far as I know english is
written without that "extra c"......

Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie,

"Englisch" is the proper German spelling of the word. Since their
business seems to be located in Switzlerland, it is perfectly normal
for German words to appear in the URL. Notice how the French version
has "franz" in the URL. It is short for "Französisch", which means
"French" in German.

Regards,

Vladimir

thanks everyone...your information is exactly what i'm looking for..as
always, an excellent job...randy

Many thanks for the five stars and the nice tip, Randy! Hope all goes
well with the website.

~pinkfreud

Hi Vladimir,

..........since this is a "translation service" I'd say it is
important to be consistent in the use of the language in the
URL.....or especially in the URL...!
....

just my opinion........

Regards,

Anne-Marie
