Dutch and German Translations

I recently received an inquiry from a reader who wanted to

translate ancestors' writings from German to English and

Dutch to English. Hiring a professional translator can be

an expensive proposition. One helpful resource for the

German-English translation is Babelfish, a translation

facility of the AltaVista search engine at

http://babel.altavista.com/translate.dyn . Type the German

text into the upper (text) box, and select translation from

German to English. The result will never be perfect, but it

will give you a good representation of the meaning of the

German. (You can also select translation of any German Web

page into English by entering the Web address.) As for the

Dutch, AltaVista has a Dutch version of its Web site too,

and the Dutch version of Babelfish is at

http://nl.altavista.com/trns . You will want to translate

from "Duits naar Engels" to accomplish what you want. Using

these and standard translation dictionaries, you can

probably make some real headway.
