Depending what you want to translate (word, sentence, website, etc), www.wordreference.com is a great site. It gives you the meaning of any word and helps you use it in all kinds of different situations. For example, if you want to say "orange" as in the fruit, it's a different word than if you meant the color orange. Even though it's the same word in english, it's not the same in spanish. That would be a good time to use wordreference.com instead of freetranslation.com.

If you need to translate a lot of text, you can use www.freetranslation.com, however, be aware that it is NOT completely accurate. It translates word-for-word as it goes through the sentence. So DO NOT use it to type a spanish report or anything lol! I've seen people do that and it ends up being so wrong, but it WILL be able to give you an idea of what a certain paragraph or webpage is talking about.

I've heard Babblefish or something was a good site too, but I haven't tried it or anything. I'm pretty good at spanish now and don't need translators too often. I just use wordreference.com for all my one-word needs.

There's no perfect, free, online translator, so just take your time. Check various sites if you feel like you need a better explanation. Good luck!!

there is no perfect Spanish translation sites, all automated translators give approximate "draft" translations. You can try Systran translation at http://systranbox.com/ and compare it to PROMT-Online http://translation.imtranslator.net/ translation. The results are pretty much the same, but the http://translation.imtranslator.net/ site provides extra convenient tools, such as spell-checker, onscreen keyboard, back translation and others. You always need to make sure that your text is spelled right to get an accurate translation. So, the online spell-checker in this case is very helpful. Also, the "back translation" reverses the text to the original language, so you can compare the original and translated text. Although it's not very wise, because the languages are not symetrical in the sentence structure and word meanings.
