Reply:the problem with online translations for English-German is that word by word (done by internet translators) does NOT equal meaning by meaning. You might want to stick to the old fashion way and do it yourself. You teacher will be able to tell the difference immediately.
Reply:They are blocked for a reason. They don't work anyway. Your teacher will be able to tell a mile off that it is not your work. Don't be so lazy, use a dictionary!

This is NOT an "auto translator" where you plug in a paragraph and it spits out another paragraph. But if you enter a word, it does give you a list of different uses of it, and examples of the word used in a bunch of examples. And you can click on the speaker symbol and hear it pronounced, or click on the i for more information -- like to go to a site that has the verb conjugations.





Those auto-translator sites really do not work so well --at least if it is for more than individual words. Especially if you try a whole paragraph, anyone who knows German will know right away it came from an auto translator. (Just a warning , in CASE you're thinking of using it that way for translating something to turn in for school.)


EDIT: I just tested it out by putting my last paragraph in this answer into Babelfish and translating to German. It came out totally ridiculous!! It called it an "Automobile-Translator". And that is just for starters. Any teacher would have laughed.....and then failed me.
