Google Translate is an automated service that can translate blocks of text or entire Web pages from one of the languages it recognizes into any other language it recognizes. Because the translations are generated automatically - without human intervention - they may not be precise, or the same as a native speaker might produce. The service can be useful for "quick and dirty" translations to give you a good idea what a document, or site, is about.
