I decided to start a page with links to online translators so people that work with [[Internationalization|InterNationalization]] might have some resources to work with (I like to collect links to online translators because IAAN). Feel free to add / link / fix broken links in this page, but please observe the current scheme. --[[User:mo|mo]]
This page lists links to online translators so people that work with [[Internationalization|internationalization]] might have some resources to work with.

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">''The third-level bullet items get kind of long, wouldn't it be better to have something like the following instead?'' [[User:Dupuy|@alex]]
* [http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html World Lingo]
** translation from: English
** translation to: English, Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish
** dictionary from: Japanese
** transliteration to: Roman, Cyrillic

Hmm.. personally I find that to be rather messy and to unorganized for me to read properly, I see your point though. I did entertain the idea about sorting it the other way around, e.g:
Dutch (Nederlands)
* English to Dutch
** [http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr Altavista BabelFish]
** [http://www.systransoft.com Systran]
** [http://www.freetranslation.com FreeTranslation.com]
** [http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html World Lingo]

* Dutch to English
** [http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr Altavista BabelFish]
** [http://www.systransoft.com Systran]
** [http://www.freetranslation.com FreeTranslation.com]
** [http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html World Lingo]

* Dutch to French
** [http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr Altavista BabelFish]
** [http://www.systransoft.com Systran]

* Dutch to Russian
** [http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html World Lingo]

but that'll get overly repetitive with the links, instead of with the phrases
* ** language_1 to language_2 *** language_1 to language_3 etc. which (IMHO) is less of an eyesore. I didn't like how it finally turned out anyway. the list is still a bit 'overperfectionistic' by listing ''all'' the languages each translator translates to and fro, most translators do have a set of 'commons' for example; English, French, German and Spanish. what I ''know'' I want, is to have all the available languages that any given language can be translated into in a list under that, like I did, but there may be a way of making the list less straining on the eye; perhaps

Dutch (Nederlands)
* [http://www.worldlingo.com/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html World Lingo]
** English to Dutch

* also translates Dutch into
** English
** French
** Russian
** Italian
** Greek

or some system of
Dutch <=> English
Dutch => Spanish
Dutch => French
Dutch <=> (simplified) Chinese
</ul>

would be better?..
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">also, I can't help it, I want to know, what did you mean by
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">"dictionary from: Japanese" and "transliteration to: Roman, Cyrillic" ? ~[[User:mo|mo]] ''The idea was that there are three types of translators: phrase translators à la Babelfish (''translation to/from''), word lookup dictionaries (''dictionary to/from''), and phrase transliteration (''transliteration to/from''). The last (transliteration) may be to a [[Script Code|script]] rather than a [[Language Code|language]].'' [[User:Dupuy|@alex]]
</ul>
</ul>

Maybe this is a situation where the use of [[Sub Page|SubPage]]s could help? Like listing all the engines that translate to and fro dutch on [[Online Translator/Dutch Language|/DutchLanguage]]? --[[User:DonRedman|DonRedman]]

You know, I like that idea, what exactly are subpages and how do they work? ~[[User:mo|mo]]

See [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SubPage http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SubPage]. Ill just make an example with [[Sand Box/Arabic Language|SandBox/ArabicLanguage]] [[Sand Box/English Language|SandBox/EnglishLanguage]] and [[Sand Box/Systran Tranlator|SandBox/SystranTranlator]]* that should be self explanatory. Note that within the parent page or the children (only one level of [[Sub Page|SubPage]]s are possible) you link to a [[Sub Page|SubPage]] [[Online Translator/Like This|/LikeThis]]. While you have to use the full name [[Sand Box/Like This|SandBox/LikeThis]] to refer from the outside. That is all ther is to it --[[User:DonRedman|DonRedman]]
* Uh a typo again, but then it is only an example :-)

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">''I would strongly urge that we '''not''' use [[Sub Page|SubPage]]s. Many Wikis are moving away from these, and have dropped support for them entirely. If you want to break up the page, that would be fine, but use proper [[Wiki Name|WikiName]]s like [[Online Translators English|OnlineTranslatorsEnglish]] and [[Online Translators Arabic|OnlineTranslatorsArabic]].''
