There are various online translators, eg. Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/).
Or you can acquire a computer dictionary. I recommend Powerword.

Yeah, I made a few when I was living in China. ;) Chinese girls are nice, once you get past their initial reserve. They are like

OH PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH ME
OH PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH
OH PLEASE DO NOT
OH PLEASE DO
OH PLEASE
OH

I guess that's what you call an ode. ;D

There's a great iPod application called "Qingwen" which is basically a Chinese/English dictionary with a search function and pronunciation sound files.

The nice thing about the iPod Touch/iPhone is that you can use the touch screen to draw Chinese characters as one of the input methods on the Chinese keyboard. (You can set up any international keyboards that you want in the international options section of the iPod, and then whenever you use the keyboard, you can easily toggle whichever language you want.)

Overall, I go to my iPod first whenever I need to translate something.

If you want to English to chines or chines to English language, then you should go for Google translate because of this translator is the best to translate any languages. So I will also recommend Google translate for you. I hope it helps.

You are right Paul. Google translation is the best site to translate any kind of language. I use Google translation mostly because I like to learn different language. Hope you will translate chinese language and get better result.

Automated translators are only good if it is a one line translation, if it is for a paragraph then you need to carefully check if the original manuscript has lost it meaning during automated translation. I have seen automated translation making such BIG goof up.

take care..

The best tool is google translator. But sometimes translation result is funny, is could be used only for not professional usage

Hello,

Yes, the best bet is to ask a Chinese friend. The online translator is a joke if you know Chinese.
