I think you meant http://www.babylon.com/ .  While it's a start, I would
caution anyone who uses it that it is less than perfect translation, at least
in my experience with it about a year ago.  Especially with the technology
buzzwords you'll see on a list like this.  Also, phrases in one language may
translate literally into another, but the cultural understanding may be
awkward, much like what I think happened with Mohammed EL Zeiny's post the
other day.

Here's a test if you decide to use a web translator.  Type something in your
native tongue that makes sense, then translate it into another language, and
then translate it back to your native language.  Likely you will see something
different than what you originally typed.

thanks dan.

for a non native speaker , if you just learned a little bit at school and
doesn't have to use it very much in your daily live,  it isn't always easy
to find the right words to express what you mean.

hint: there's an excellent one-click translator for free download at
www.baylon.com. the earlier versions have only been  a translator. now they
added many glossaries for additional information, not only translation. you
can download dictionaries/glossaries or have online access.
