We are living in a fortunate time when we have access to professional translation services wherever we are and whenever we want, from almost any language to any language. But that’s not the end, many free but quality automatic translation services also exist. Though they may not be as good as human translation, if your translation requirement is not of a critical nature (you might just need to know the gist of given content say an email, learn a few standard phrases in a foreign language to impress your neighbor, or send tweets to foreign speakers) you can readily use any of the effective translation tools mentioned below–

Babel Fish – Babel Fish is of course very well known and rightfully so, because it lets users translate large chunks of text and even websites between many language pairs through a user-friendly interface.

Google Translate & Bing Translator – Both Google Translate & Bing Translator offer services which are similar to Babel Fish. Bing Translator offers a very useful additional feature which is the ability to detect the language of given content. Google Translate on the other hand has been integrated with Gmail and enables users to translate emails as well.

BabelWith.Me: Yet another highly innovative tool which helps users chat in languages they don’t know! It does this by translating chats in real time and supports 45 languages at present.

TweetTranslate: TweetTranslate moves to the area of micro-blogging or Tweets. It can work seamlessly with Twitter accounts enabling users to translate tweets into over 40 languages.

Forvo – This is an excellent language site that relies on crowdsourcing. Forvo allows users to share audio clips which help them practice correct pronunciation in different languages. The site is quite user friendly with the various audio clips being mapped by the speaker’s region.
