Probably the most popular free Spanish translator online right now is the BabelFish Spanish translator from AltaVista located on the web at the BabelFish Spanish translator site.

Like most other free Spanish translators on the web, BabelFish can translate either blocks of text or individual web pages (by writing in the corresponding URL). However, BabelFish limits your block of text to only 150 words (not very much at all).

You can use a world keyboard to input accented or Cyrillic characters.

Out of the free translation services I experimented with, BabelFish offered the most combination of languages. English can be translated into the following languages: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Spanish.

In addition, each of these languages can be translated to English. Other combinations are also possible, including: French to German, French to Greek, French to Italian, French to Portuguese, French to Dutch, and French to Spanish; German to French; Greek to French; Italian to French; Portuguese to French; and Spanish to French.

Finally, AltaVista gives you the code to add BabelFish translation to your site for free.

Here are the results of the experiment. I hope you enjoy them.


---English Text---
I'm a little teapot, short and stout.
Here is my handle, here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout:
tip me over and pour me out.


---Corresponding Spanish Text---
I'm una pequeños tetera, cortocircuito y cerveza de malto.
Aquí está mi manija, aquí es mi canalón.
Cuando consigo todos cocidos al vapor para arriba, óigame gritar:
inclíneme encima y viértame hacia fuera.


---Translated back into English---
I'm small a teapot, short circuit and beer of malto.
Here it is my handle, is my gutter here.
When with himself all spanish stews to the steam for above, óigame to shout:
inclíneme above and viértame towards outside.
