What about automatic translations ??

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Bilingual Marketing

 

You will be able to find these services for free through out the Internet using google, Babel or many other providers. They will offer you to do translations into more than 12 languages. If you need to get an over view about a theme, you may be able to understand the general concept, but if you need to get the exact idea of what the article is saying then you have a lot of problems.

Why ?? Because translating from one language to another one is not a job for a machine, just for fun give it a shot and I guarantee you will be having lots of fun because at the end, it will make no sense!!

So the question is: Do you really want to use these kind of services, confuse your clients and sound unprofessional??

James- this is a very valid point. I have seen these programs translate German into English, and I am wondering if it was the same article. It should be said that even if you are like me and you speak some Spanish, it is far better to have a native speaker go over your work,or have them do the translation, since aspects of the language will be lost.

Frank.

Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you, we need to have some native speaker working on those translations, other than that we will be confusing our potential clients and we will sound unprofessional.

Best regards.

I concur with all of the above comments - Being fluent in German, it is very frustrating about the translations that various sites have - they don't make little or no sense and should be looked over by a person who is fluent in that language.

Petra that's right !!

We have to tell everyone about this, because people that are using those systems don't know what they are doing !!

Take care!!
