>More often than not I'd plug words and sentences into Google Translate, check dictionaries when I wasn't confident about a certain suggestion, Ha, I do that too sometimes (GT), and when it doesn't work, I do this: https://translate.google.com/#en/en/Blame%20Google%20Translate https://translate.google.com/#en/en/Blame%20Google%20Transla... and share it with the person I am talking or writing to. Just first change the language of the right side text box inf GT to the target language you want, or in the URL above, change the second language code from en (English) to de or es (German or Spanish), for example. Also, it's interesting that if you toggle the translation from lang A -> lang B to lang B -> lang A, the result is sometimes not the same as the original you first typed in lang A. e.g. try the above phrase I used (Blame Google Translate) with DE (German) as the target lang. All that said, GT is still a useful and fun tool. I play around with the audio outputs of the languages sometimes.
