Do you know any good french to english translation sites.?

Would need to be easy to use for kids, and would need to translate questions and answers, thank you. My daughter is starting to learn french but is not given a book to learn all the things she is doing in school, not like when i was learning it at school. She needs to find certain questions and answers, like how many brothers and sisters do you have, and would also need to know the answer, plus many more,Do you know any good french to english translation sites.?
Translation sites are bound is give false "translations" eventually. They are machines and will not follow all the proper grammar and sytax rules of French, nor will it give you multiple options/possibilities. I suggest you go to a bookstore and buy a French learning book for young people for her to read, this will be much more useful.

If you want a good online dictionary, with phrases and idioms,

wordreference.com

is great, and it provides all conjugation of verbs.



Let me give you one very good example of the bad quality of online "translators".

If I write "My name is Sarah" onto Google translate, I get:

"Mon nom est Sarah" ------------ WRONG. The proper way to say it is:

"Je m'appelle Sarah".

So your daughter won't even know how to say her name, great.



Google will not tell you the spelling differences between male and female, if you daughter wants to say "I am happy", it will give her:

"Je suis heureux" ---------- if your daughter says this, it means that she is a happy BOY, girl must say "Je suis HEUREUSE". Google can't tell you that.Do you know any good french to english translation sites.?
l thought learning French would be hard but after getting the Rocket French which l was refered to by a friend l found it really easy and everyone can easily learn it,now l am able to understand my friends when they talk.Do you know any good french to english translation sites.?
Google has a translation tool which is free:

I would say it's ok rather than good.
