What translator is the best?

To buy on the Marketplace.

They all seem to use google, so much of a muchness in laughable translations. (I had someone speaking to me in French and it translated their words as "I like to kiss little emus")

So, I like the one by hinaichigo xaris for casual use on languages I don't know (like Spanish, Russian and so on) - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Translator-All-google-languages-menu-version/7175140

But sometimes it's better to just copy/paste into deepl -> https://www.deepl.com/translator as that gives the best "quality" translations.

deepl is very limited and requires a monthly fee. I needed Portuguese. I did find one for only L$1 that was really good after all.

Glad you found a solution. I will mention this so it helps others who stumble over the thread in the next 10 years.

While it is limited to only 7 languages, which means no Portuguese, Deepl is free to use. It's biggest advantage at the moment is the quality of translation is better then what pops out of Google or Bing. Still laughable compared to a fluent speaker, but if you are not fluent and don't mind copy/paste it's a good solution.
