    [size=large]I just found out that on the GOOGLE TOOLBAR you click that blue tool on the right[/size]

    [size=large]then you go >options>tools>translate[/size]

    [size=large]and there you can set the option to translate as you hover over the words, which if you read here and there is much more practical than transalting the whole page. [/size]

    [size=large]If I translate for example English into Italian the quality of the translation is not perfect, but quite good.[/size]

    [size=large]Better quality than the translation you copy and paste into a little window.[/size]

    There's fun to be had with translation utilities. For example, take the phrase 'The cat sat on the mat'. Translate it to Greek. Then take the resulting translation and go from Greek to French, then French back to English:

    "The cat which s' assied with the carpet".

    There's fun to be had. I once ended up with "The feline perched upon the summit", but can't remember the route I took to get there.
