atw: Re: Translation freeware?

From past experience, I think you'll be hard-pressed to find any
translation software worth the effort of downloading a free executable,
let alone paying money. There's simply no algorithm sophisticated
enough, yet, to get through the complexities of competing grammatical
and lexical rules. Further, if accuracy is important, it is impossible,
without going to a translation company, to ensure it.

Subject: atw: Translation freeware?

Hi folks
A charity has approached me about getting translation software to 
handle three documents; one is in French, one is in German, and 
the third is in Dutch.  Being a charity, they are looking for 
freeware.

I had a look at the myWorldLingo web site and that will do a 
cheap job, but I imagine someone (me, probably) will have to do a 
lot of cleaning up on it.

Are there other sites I should look at?

Thanks
Allan
