Here''s a better one but not free.  It translates quite well, much better than Google but often selects rather esoteric words.

I think Google translate is good for basic translations and it''s free, it helps me out a lot at work!

Welcome to the Forum by the way, Ozgur.

Ozgur, some of Google''s translatıons are quite amusing.

Examples:

I like the three of them.
   Google -    Bu üçü gibi.  ????????????
   Proçeviri - onların üçünü seviyorum.  correct

Ilknur mu, Lale mi, Jale mi güzel?
   Google''s translation - Do Ilknur Joanna did you, Jane Is it good? ???????????

Interesting site but bad translation - even more nonsensical than Google:

I like the three of them.
I beğenmek belgili tanımlık üç -in onları.

***********************

Ilknur mu, Lale mi, Jale mi güzel?
Ilknur mu , Tulip mi Jale mi beautiful?  - This is the English (???) translation.

Blue Lizard please give us the Turkish, you never know when you might need it. It really made me laugh though, especially as my poor language skills rarely have the Turkish people able to understand what I''m saying and I really don''t fancy trying to explain this in sigh language!
