I very strongly advise against the use of a translation program if you want serious results. Translation programs have gotten better and might give you the gist of a translated document but they also very often produce very entertaining but not very usable results.

So if you just want to find out what the book is about, a translation program might be a start but if you want to actually read and appreciate the book's content, I'd advice getting out your dictionary etc and doing the translation manually.

Hi all -

I have a book in German, that I wish to translate in to English, anybody suggest the best way to do this? Is it possible to scan it in, and then use some translation tool to get it in to English?
