None of the current online translation tools (Google Translate, AltaVista

Babelfish, World Lingo, IBM Translate, etc) can do a good job on any

Oriental language at the moment.

 

I use those tools, but must also use WenLin and NJStar if I want any

reasonable accuracy.

 

The trouble is that to translate 1 page of A4 text well can take several

hours.

 

That is why I asked for volunteers who are fluent in Chinese.

 

So far, nobody has volunteered, because (even for fluent speakers) the

job seems too daunting and time-consuming.
