How many of you use automated translations? I use it for a number of things, but not for translating documents; I won't risk that. For quick translations to understand the gist of message it's very useful. It also helps me with keyword research.

Bing Translate and Google Translate are both really helpful, and perform reasonably well.

Now, Google says it has added 13 new languages to the facility, and these are now getting to the less-well travelled languages.

The 13 new languages — Amharic, Corsican, Frisian, Kyrgyz, Hawaiian, Kurdish (Kurmanji), Luxembourgish, Samoan, Scots Gaelic, Shona, Sindhi, Pashto and Xhosa Google Translate adds 13 new languages [insidesearch.blogspot.com]
