John,AT one time, there was a translation toolbar for ms word called Systran but when I tried it, it was not accurate either. There is also a piece of software made by reverso but to be honest, translation software are not accurate anyway, no matter which one you use. I would never recommend using those if you don't know the language you are translating into.

Hello Lynn, Yes, this is why I wanted a more reliable piece of on-disk software. The results from Google Translate are far from precise but do give some idea of meaning when none whatsoever is previously known. Luckily, I do understand a little Spanish so am usually able to sort the bad translations out from the better ones.

Just beware of this type of software...the translations are not accurate so if you know the language you are translating into, that would help immensely. I am telling you from experience, I am bilingual myself and I have tried using this type of software/service before and the results are not exactly accurate so be careful with those. I do translate documents from the international guide dog federation and the european guide dog federation for my manager at our guide dog school and I'd rather do these myself rather than having to rely on this type of software/service.
