For lazy people like me who wishes to use a language converter than spend the the months and years it takes to master a language, what are the best converters? Provide links..

Thanks.

I don't really have good sites for a full text converter for Mandarin. But a useful site I use for translating individual words is:

http://www.mandarintools.com/worddict.html

You can search with pinyin, characters, or English. It's pretty awesome

babel fish at altavista.com is what i use every now and then.
