Online translators are notoriously ineffective for masterful and accurate translation. However, they do have their function. They are useful if you are trying to get the gist or to glean general meaning from a text. If you are looking for an accurate and specific German translation of a word, sentence, or text, you will need to ask for live help in our language forum, or better yet -- take some courses (look below for free online courses) and be your own personal translator!
