Study Aids for Art Education, Art History & Art Appreciation new visitors start here The AltaVista Foreign Language Translator Many of the following websites will be in languages other than english. If you're surfing auf Deutsch, en espanol, en francais, in italiano or nos portugueses, this is a handy online dictionary that can usually give you the gist of a passage. Simply cut the text from the webpage and paste it into the box in the translator. Select the desired conversion and wait while AltaVista works its magic. A SPECIAL NOTE TO LAZY FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENTS: Writing your papers in English and using this tool to translate them into a foreign language will not only produce a failing grade, but will make you the target of your teacher's wrath. Every language has its special quirks and this tool does not take those into account; it translates words. If you don't believe me, translate a passage from a foreign text into English and see what you get.
