Yes I know there are a ton of them out there, but which one seems to make the most accurate translations, in your opinion?

I realize that nothing can be done about idioms and figures of speech but sometimes I get stuck translating newspapers, etc and could use a reliable online spanish/english translator.

Any ideas, opinions?

Hi Imagica1975--

I do many translations here in Madrid. I have a proficient level of Spanish and don´t use/don´t like/don´t trust online translators.

However, one website that I find absolutely indispensable (along with my five dictionaries!) is Word Reference .

Good luck!

If you want me to give it a go just e-mail me what you want translated. I've studied spanish for 6 years, got to year 2 in my diploma with the OU, and live with a spanish guy who has only been learning english since he arrived here in July.
