Geek Tip: Translate Websites and Phrases With Promt

April 21, 2010

There's no shortage of online translation tools and mobile apps, but I've yet to find one that translates large blocks of text accurately. Until now, that is. Promt, a free online translator and dictionary. The company manufactures desktop software for translating PDFs and larger documents, but this free web-based service is incredibly accurate and easy to use. You can copy and paste large blocks of text to translate, or use the website translator for an entire site; just enter the site's URL and desired start and finish languages. You can even set categories for greater accuracy; try "Travel," "Cars," "Sports," and more.

There's also a mobile version of the site should you need to translate on-the-go; Promt currently supports English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Italian.

I just ran a check of Promt using an item that is already available on the Web in both French and English. What I did was to translate the English into French, and then back-translated the French into English. Here are the original English, and the back-translation. You can judge for yourselves whether you want to trust this application to translate Websites for your clients: they might not be interested in an offer to "undertake a compulsory liquidation of" their "credit accounts"! 1. Original text: If the negotiated phase does not bring results or if your company has already made the attempt, we will proceed to a judicial settlement of your accounts receivable. Our business law attorneys will determine the most appropriate procedure, and then follow the cases from the start of the proceedings through to their execution following the court’s decision. As soon as a judgment is rendered, our attorneys steer its execution, provide a list of the debtor's assets (bank accounts, third party debts held …) to the process servers, and pinpoint the actions to be taken. 2. Back-translation: If negotiated stage does not bring results or if your company has already made try, we will undertake a compulsory liquidation of your credit accounts. Our lawful lawyers of business will determine the most appropriate procedure and follow then cases of the beginning of procedures by in their execution further to the decision of the court.
