I’ve been using Google Translate for quite awhile now with pretty good results. It’s usually pretty accurate for translating simple phrases back and forth from English to several foreign languages which I need to communicate in.
Over the last month, I’ve been testing out a new online translation tool called nicetranslator. This is quickly becoming my translation tool of choice, for several reasons.
1. It’s super simple to use.
2. It auto-recognizes which language you’re translating from.
3. You can select multiple target languages, and nicetranslator will translate your phrases into all the languages you select and show them on the screen at the same time.
4. It’s actually pretty accurate most of the time. Almost all online translators have some issues, especially with certain languages which have very different sentence structures.
HINT: I’ve found that I can get better accuracy if I translate from English to another language, and then translate back to English until I get the sentence structure correct.
If you find that you need translation done, either to or from your native language, need to translate into multiple languages, or just want to have some fun with your multilingual friends, I would definitely recommend checking out nicetranslator.

Ken,
Thanks for the post. Great translator. I was successful in using the tool to remind my Chinese housekeeper not to clean the computer screens with Comet.
