@susi123 I am so glad to hear that, Susi! Wonderful.

I think the Bing Translator is much nicer than the Google one. https://www.bing.com/translator/

** Top Reasons?

1. It is NOT a Google property.

2. It allowed me to paste long letters, with up to 5,000 characters, which I wrote in one language where I can express myself better. Then used the Translator to bring it to my friend's native language, which I do speak, but at a lower proficiency level

3. The machine translated text wasn't perfect, but by using a native language, I felt free to express my thoughts much more freely, conveying meaning and nuance, sentiment, the way I liked it.

4. I would copy the text from Bing page, paste it into my penpal letter writing editor and scan, proofread and edit it to correct any anomalous errors or weird language from the machine.

Excellent for letters to our friends abroad. 😉

She was the one who started me on this route, surprising me with a full letter in my native language. Wow! 😺

We got very lyrical as a result. ❤️ ❤️
