With the help from Google Translate, it is really easy for you to translate your sentence, your passage or even a website in Vietnamese into another language. Is it a good news for our Translation class???

It just translates word by word. There's no point in relying on it when translating the whole sentence but it may help with a single word.

yes. It's really funny. Have you ever thought of "không trung"="on without"??

vdict has the same tool already but it just translates words by words as khanhbui said +_+ so i dont think that we could rely on something like this :p It's just useful for us to "tham khảo" +_+'

I think we should translate by ourselves. Google translation can give you a clue but it's not correct.

It is just a kind of machine, right? So the way it works is just translating word-by-word, nothing else. Anyway, we can be proud a bit that Google has already put an eye on VNmese.
@ ong_nho: Hehe, VDict use the Google engine. Therefore, if you type the part/words which you need to be translated in these 2 pages, you may get the same results. Check it out!

Google Translate is terrible. It translates word bu word. So the results usually very funny, especially for some sentences with a little bit complex structures. Look up dictionary and try to translate yourself helps you understand the content more clearly than using Google Translate or any kind of translating machine.

@ bo_cong_anh: Please, if you want to have a good understanding in language, and "the beauty of words" (as Ms. LHa told us, remember?), do not use Google Translate. At least until the end of this school year. It is a machine, so it is just useful for translating separated words only, not for the whole sentence.
@ ngocphuong: Yep, exactly. Do-it-yourself is better. Don't believe the machine.

I found another online translating machine : the one on tratu.vn. It works much better than google. Why not giving it a try? Cool

I think we should try our best to translate sth from 1 language to another and vs, don't abuse so much on tools. And Google Translate is not my choice, its translating is terrible!

oh, I think that this page is not really help. I've tried sometimes but it just translates word by word. There are big differences b/w the SL and the TL. So, it's better for you to translate by yourself ( wih good dictionary)
