Actually non of the 3 engines are right , but in generally when I translate something I prefer to use Google translation it's much more better then the other
but sometimes I chose one of the others , just choose the one that you think that it makes sense for you ![]()
I don't know if it means anything, but I've found when I enter a word or phrase in English into the Google translator and get the answer in Spanish; I then turn around and place that Spanish translation into the translator and ask for the English translation; if they are not the same that is when I use the dictionary for more complete information on each word of the phrase. Then I feel more comfortable that I have a more accurate and complete translation of the phrase or word. If that made any sense.
Oh, I see what you mean now... I find that Google is usually just a tad bit more accurate, but really, all translators are equally bad. It isn't good to use translators because they do a word-for-word translation, which means the translations usually don't work. And, when they do work, they often sound unnatural. The best thing for you to do is to write it yourself. Then, you can open a new question thread and ask if what you did makes any sense. This is better for practice anyway; plus, you learn... Don't be afraid to make mistakes- it's the only way to learn.
Thanks for the help! ![]()
Oh! Sorry about that. When you go to translate and enter a sentence it gives you three different search engines that it ran it through. When I look at them they are all different answers.
I don't completely understand your question, but....
The three search engines are for:
1) the dictionary
2) the phrase book; and
3) the answers search
They are three different things entirely. The first is a Spanish-English/English-Spanish dictionary. It also gives a few definitions. The second is for looking up common phrases, such as idioms. The third is for looking up questions that have already been asked.
Hope that helped some!
