Beware – Google Translator Toolkit
I have not tried it yet – but from the description, it might be a MUCH better tool than the current translator. Still — I have faith in teh “spidey” senses of foreign language teachers. I am sure you will still be able to tell if your kids are using it. Perhaps not so much because it translates cidadas as lobsters, but because the translation is way too good for beginning language students. Might be harder for advanced students…. Definitely worth looking at.
