What online translator do you use to translate Chinese (traditional/HK?TW or simplified/Mainland/Sgp) into your language? Let's share.

Some online language ENGLISH - CHINESE, v.v. translators I found:

I just realised I've never used these before. When I was talking about online translators in the BOGAE thread, I was thinking of those sites where you put chinese words in and they tell you the pinyin of the word, not the meaning....I find that the pinyin sites are more useful for me, because translations by translation engines might not be so accurate, compared to my mind anyway haha....

Anyway, if anybody has good spoken chinese but bad reading/writing, this pinyin site is great for that:

I have found babelfish to be useful when I'm stuck with words ... yeh the translations are not all that accurate but it works better by word basis.  It breaks it down into traditional and simple Chinese which I also find helpful.

Interesting topic..
http://usa.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=translate  is pretty good because it translates and has pinyin, so if the translation doesn't make sense, you can fall back onto the pinyin ..too bad it's mandarin pinyin though (since I'm Cantonese). And too bad you can't just put in a web address and it translate the whole page for you.
I'll have to give charmed's pinyin site a try.
