To translate, copy a website address or any text and paste it in the Google translation tool using the keyboard - see left for German MS keyboard example

See our Education Page for more language related links and tools. Tip: If you are translating text into a heavily formatted WORD document, do not use the Babelfish translator, use the Google one below. The Alta-Vista text, when copied fropm the website to Word, confuses the formatting in Word and therefore creates extra work. More websites below

There are a few people who believe translations can be done within a couple of days, cost between €10 to €100 and are simple. The facts are much different. Translations are work intensive. Technical or specialist translations have to cost more than simple text, due to the amount of extra work involved. To get a rough idea, from one external source what a translation could cost, not what it costs in Germany, please click here

Top Insert Accents and Special Characters in Word
If your keyboard does not have special German characters, you will more than likely find them under Symbols in Word. You can also programme certain keys to type them - Click here . Here you'll find some general Word tips
Assigning a Short Cut Key to a Character
If you are tired of the complex steps involved in inserting accents and special characters, here is a fast and easy way, especially if you need to type some German words using an English or French keyboard

Insert an accent or special character using a character code:

Click where you want to insert the accent or character. Make sure the NUM LOCK is on, (see top right green LED on keyboard). Hold down the ALT key, and then, using the numeric keypad, not the row of numbers, type the character code. Here are some commonly used codes when typed into some Microsoft office programmes:

0228 ä
0246 ö
0252 ü
0196 Ä
0214 Ö
0220 Ü
0223 ß
0128 €
0163 £
