Free Internet-Based Translation Sites

of research or need 79 foreign words for "snow".

paragraphs of text, or even single words to and from English, French,
German, Spanish, Chinese, and others.

Still one of the better translator sites, although it doesn't have as much
of a language selection as LOGOS.

79 languages, even Lombardo Occidentale or Punjabi!

this site's for you.
Conspiracy Theories
You know, those really bizarre sites that claim that KFC uses 3-winged,
headless chicken. If you buy into any of these (in some cases, literally),
you'll believe anything.
