How to find translations on the web
Should you wish to translate more English phrases into Italian (or any other language) then I recommend using an online translator. These are very useful devices for quickly translating short pieces of text from one language to another, with reasonable accuracy. I say this because they are not always the most reliable tools and, as they are automated, complicated phrases can confuse them. If you wish to have an accurate translation then many of these websites offer a 'human translation' where someone who speaks the language will translate your phrase or word for you. This does, however, usually cost money to do, and so should only really be considered if accuracy is a necessity.
These websites will also translate entire webpages for you. Simply follow the instructions on the translator's webpage and you will be able to understand pretty much any foreign webpage you can find! Popular examples of these translation websites are translate.google.com, freetranslation.com and babelfish.yahoo.com. Clearly these will vary in accuracy so before using your translation it is always a good idea to cross-reference it with another one of these websites, just to be sure.
