I don't think there are any good ones, except some single-word sites.
There are some online translators for Latin, but the best is next to worthless. None of the translators for Latin online give anything close to a decent translation going either way. There are too many instances where you must know the context before choosing one of the four or five possible word choices. Other problems seem to arise from the high degree of inflection in Latin - the translators just do not seem to get case and number right, and the verbs are just as bad, especially the subjunctive. Seems like the translators assume all is indicative. This is probably compounded by Latin's lack of a fixed word order.
The net result is you get a bunch of nouns and verbs that may or may not be in context, and you still don't know who did what with which to whom when.
Single word translators which show you several possible choices for one word work. One of the best of those is:

There is no such thing, alas. You simply have to get to grips with learning Latin. Maybe you might find learning orally and aurally helps - most Latin is taught in schools in a very textbook oriented way, which some students find difficult. Have a look at http://latinum.mypodcast.com. It might help.
There is also another Latin learning podcast, called latincast, you can find it with google, but it only has a few episodes.

those web pages are few and plenty between, and thoroughly unreliable. I, regrettably, suffered by 5 years of Latin in severe college, and have faith me, those web pages do no longer provide you something clever. in case you message me dissimilar the words, i'd be able to help. yet in any different case, locate a latin dictionary, or bypass over to the homework help or language component of YA, and a few human beings there could be able to translate for you
