Wordreference.com is an amazing resourse for translation quickly, accurately and on the fly.
I have been working on a website for someone in France lately in my free time. I know how to flirt with women and ask for directions among other things in French, but since I began learning French when I was a dishwasher in Switzerland in a cafe and never took an official course, I don’t know it that well.
Doing translations for a website with words like “Section” or “Category” or “About Us” among many, many other words is tricky. I found that av.com and Babelfish had been my way to go since like 95 or 96. Just habit I guess. But it’s gotten a bit rusty and hard to use. I tried out Google’s translation service and it wasn’t that great either. So somehow I happened upon WordReference.com and it is awesome.
It tells you so many varieties and exactly what you need to know. It also seems to have a convenient cookie feature that remembers what your last radio button selected was so you don’t have to do the DropMenu thing which is so time consuming and bad for carpal tunnel.
Just my thought for the day back to the Creations Ethniques website.
