I use translation tools such as Yahoo! Babel Fish and Google Translate pretty often, I have to confess that I used to prefer Yahoo over Google on this because Google Translate is yet to go final. A week ago I brought up an issue regarding the inaccuracy of the language translation service offered by Yahoo! Babel Fish. Somehow, this morning I tried Google Translate because Yahoo! Babel Fish failed to get certain words translated and for the sake of having fun, I wanted to see if Google could translate yahoo.com homepage into chinese language better than Yahoo does. As you can guess, the answer is yes and I couldn't find cheating service from Yahoo anymore.

PS: It is not that the Google Translate is under beta but it is the option for translating english to chinese which is still under beta.
