Things You'll Need:

• PC with internet connection

   Get free translations online

   Next, go online and check out www.freetranslation.com. They have a great selection of translating languages to choose from, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, and even Japanese. Paste the text and click "FREE Translation."

3. If you can't find the specific language translation you want online, or it comes out awkward or garbled, check out Babylon's FREE dictionary and translation software (see the Resources section for a link). Babylon's software offers translations to and from 75 different languages, with more features like web page translation and even document (.pdf and .doc) translation. Best of all, it's free.
