SDL FreeTranslation: Free Online Machine Translation Service

Free online machine translation service to translate text between over 90 languages, providing quick automated translations with general meaning

What is SDL FreeTranslation?

SDL FreeTranslation is a free online machine translation service operated by SDL, a leading provider of translation software and services. It allows users to translate text between over 90 languages quickly and easily through an automated translation system.

To use SDL FreeTranslation, you simply enter the text you want to translate on the website, select the source and target languages, and click the Translate button. The service then provides you with a machine translation that conveys the general meaning of the original text.

Some key features of SDL FreeTranslation include:

• Supports over 90 languages for translation
• Fast automated translations done by machine
• Gives the approximate translation, not highly accurate or polished translations
• Free to use with no account signup required
• Has a simple intuitive interface that is easy to use
• Ideal for getting the gist of foreign text quickly

The main limitations are that the translations are done by a machine system rather than human translators. So they may have errors, lack nuanced language or local turns of phrase. For most formal or professional translation needs, a specialized human translation service would be better.

Overall, SDL FreeTranslation provides a handy way for individuals, students, travelers and bloggers to take text in a foreign language and quickly get a basic understanding of its meaning without charge. It offers a good starting point before seeking professional translation services for publication or other critical business purposes.
