Google translate: an online translation wizard
Have you come across Google translate yet? It is a clever online translation tool that may prove invaluable for translating those family letters that have been passed down through the generations but that no-one can read any more because they were written in a non-English language.
Danish? Dutch? Swedish? French? Italian? Spanish?
Just start typing from your foreign language document and Google 'detects' the language in use and starts translating it immediately.
It isn't perfect of course and some of the English translations seem rather odd or stilted but it is a considerable improvement on some of the other online translation tools available.
