Have you heard of Linguee or Duolingo? These are sites that allow you to learn languages while also helping to translate web pages. The concept is great and these sites are attracting tens of thousands of users. But the question lies as always; how is the accuracy of the language translation? A language translation professional part of proz.com argues that these sites and others cannot product the quality of language translation that a professional translation company can or a person trained to provide interpreter services. These tools and others like them are fascinating however as they confirm the high demand for interpretation and translation services. Although they focus on the language translation need in the Internet world, the need for accurate and reliable interpreting services is vast - reaching just about every industry out there.
Visit these sites. See how they work and maybe you will learn a foreign language in the process as they claim you are able to do. Just note that it does not take the place of a professional language interpreter, but I think you already knew that.
