Just beware of these free online translations. They have no human input so the grammar can often be wrong, though it is fantastic for translating individual words. If you wanted to translate (It's been ages since I've done languages lol) maybe... blue hat it would probably come out bleu chapeau rather than chapeau bleu or whatever (I know the adj endings are wrong there :rolleyes:)
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories

And they just stopped working for me...

I have used it ones to translate into Polish from English just for fun. Effects were terrible. No grammar what so ever not to mension realy funy mistakes with meaning of more complicated words. It can help with understanding general meaning of the text but is completely useless when doing serious translation.

The reason is that they translate literally. For example, if you are translating latin back to english "expedite" would be "to take something out of one's foot".

I've lost my way.

No. It doesn't have hebrew...but I'd rather use my trusty hebrew dictionary. :)
