how do I get babel fish to translate arabic and/or hebrew?

Question

they are not on my languages list

Answer 1

You don't. You need to find a translator that mangles Arabic and/or Hebrew instead. But if you really want to get something translated, you need to have a human being--not a machine--do the work. To prove this, take any text of a couple of sentences, have a machine translation done, then translate it back...you'll see!!

1-800-translate (see sources section below) does have both Hebrew and Arabic. You can do one translation per day between any two combinations of languages (i.e. one Arabic-English, and one English-Arabic). However, their translations are even worse that babelfish. Google can do Arabic but not Hebrew. I haven't used it, so I can't comment on quality.

Answer 2

I can't give you an anwer on that, but beware, babelfish gives very crappy translations. I am Dutch (no not Deutch) and whenever I see or try a babelfish translation into Dutch it sucks completely.
Sometimes it's so funny here on YA, some people pretent to speak my language. But the language they use is so typical babelfish and doesn't make sense at all, that it is always very obvious and stupid. :)

Answer 3

forget babelfish. Try a human-based translation service. That may cost you a bit but it brings you the results you want. I always have fun w4ih those cyber-translators:they are good when you need a good laugh. Not for anything else...

Answer 5

Die. There are no babel fish in this reality, unfortunately. Try the next one!
