There are many translation services through the Internet. None of them are perfect, and many do not cater to certain language dialects, such as French Canadian. Google though does present the best compromise between user friendly, interactive, and the ability to perform a fairly good translation task. It can also learn through on-the-page corrections submitted by the user. Google, for the present time will be the standard translator for VVi.
