This might be good - I think it does phrases (http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/phrases/french/e2f_data/aengfre.html)

I am studying French as part of my degree (I'm majoring in Computing Science). Strange combination I know, but they are both subjects that I enjoy.

Thanks a lot for the quick help people.
The coursework is due tomorrow afternoon so I'll have all morning, saying that I dont have to much time to waste either, sites seem good so thank you, id also like phrases more realted to heatly living and work experience thought.

Free-translation worked for my speaking, lol ... but wont do here, just not accurate enough, I'll try systran now ... sounds promising. :)

:blink: Nooo, don't do it, online translators are about the worst things you can use if you have to be accurate.

Agree and said and I wont be using it .....
Getting systran now, wish I had asked earlier though, then again ive only just found in. More help would be greatful, specially on those topics ....

In the meatime, Id greatly appreciate it if people who have systran can also seed it for me ....

I'd love to help you but my french isn't that good and I'm afraid I might get it wrong.

As for the translator, you can try this: Cliptran (http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=70281&hl=systran), I wouldn't use stuff like this but, if you want to try it, try it. :)

That seems to use sites such as free-translation and google translater which isn't good enough for me and I hope systran is better then these ....
Downloading now from bt at a speed of 40kb ... so if anyone read this and started seeding ... thank you! ... would like the usual speed of 60kb, but im happy.

Do you mean a pocket size dictionary. I cant see any point in having a dictionary for your pocket.

i had to use one. the teachers always know if you cheat using the internet, even if you sort the mistakes out and take out the long words they still know

:angry: , lucky I dont know you or would sock you one :angry:

lol, just kidding and your right but the coursework is due in tomorrow and I dont have the time to go out and get one .... a dictionary wouldn't be much help as I need to translate phrases, not single words :( ....

Systran seems good though, make for companies so it'll be good enough for me. :)
