    Hey every/anyone
    As the title says, does anyone know a good machine translation software? Preferably for PC and can translate between the three main novel types on NU (JP, CN, KN). It doesn't have to do all three, even a good one for one language would do. And if you don't use software but instead a translation add-on for your browser, feel free to add (don't say Google Translate, everybody knows that one).

    Passable? Yes there are plenty, though it may not have all three at the same time. Good? Not possible.

    If you want passable with some syntax and context error, then you already know where to go. If you want to read ahead as if you're reading what a human translator would give you or you want to start your own translation group using it, sorry, there is none.

    Translation tools are there to help you get an idea what those stuff in foreign language is supposed to mean when you've stumbled. They're not supposed to give you reliable translations.

    Without one understanding the nuances of particular words any translation will be a bad translation

    For CN Systranet would be my go-to (if what I want to read isn't on LNMTL). Haven't tried it with JP and KR though.

    When I started translating, I used to compare what google and bing gave me, so as to have a notion of what the chapter was all about, then start throwing sentences in a Japanese dictionary (I use jisho.org) to properly understand it.

    Not much more that can be done, there is no magical perfect translator... Good luck! ^^)/

    Currently there is no single magical translator software that is 100% accurate.

    The closest would be using multiple translating sites (bing, google, babylon, systrans, etc) use at least two.

    To get a rough sentence correlation.

    Using language dictionaries are helpful, dependent on what language you are translating from. (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Indonesian, Vietmanese, etc.)

    The process takes a while, depending on character count of the story/novel/chapter.

    Download a translation aggregator. If I remember right. Google Andrew9495 MTL. There should be links to it.

    Systran is good.
