Translation Program

http://www.reverso.net/text_translation.asp?lang=FR

This will give you a short sentence or phrase. It's not perfect but it's free and it can send from French to many European languages. You can also reverse the English to French.

Check out a few phrases and see what you find.

Hi BD,

I entered
>Die Chefin des Hauses kocht für Sie persönlich österreichische Spezialitäten, Hausmannskost aus Omas Rezeptbuch, Wildspezialitäten aus dem eigenen Jagdrevier (vom Seniorchef erlegt), vegetarische Küche, Trennkost und auf Wunsch Diätküche.
Sehr reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet.<

Translated to French
>La chef de la maison fait pour vous personnellement les spécialités autrichiennes, la nourriture ordinaire des mamies le livre de recette, les spécialités sauvages de la propre réserve de chasse (du chef père erlegt), la cuisine végétarienne, nourriture de séparation et sur demande de la cuisine de diète.
Buffet de petit déjeuner très riche.<

Translated to English

Not at all bad.

It tickles me with this translation program but what worries me is those which really need the translation, haven't figured how good this free means.

Maybe others will try this program.

Google Language Tools (found on Google search page) translates Ira's entry as:

The boss of the house cooks personally Austrian specialities, house man food from grannies prescription book, game specialities from the own hunting ground (hunted by the senior boss), vegetarian kitchen, separation food and when desired Diätküche for you. Very rich Frühstücksbüffet.<

and

La chef de la maison cuit pour vous des spécialités, personnellement autrichiennes, Hausmannskost des Omas livre de prescription, spécialités de gibier du propre secteur de chasse (du chef d'aîné chasse), cuisine végétarienne, Trennkost et sur demande cuisine de Diète. Frühstücksbüffet.< très considérable
