is there any free software on the internet that can change "chinese character"  into english and visa versa? I met some one in china on my last visit and she can only communicate in chinese charaters.

but it has its limits, being a literal translator. it will get you started however. I would not trust using it to convert english into characters without proof reading.

Hi xigua1

A few of the posts here were written by a spammer. They have been deleted, and that user has been banned from posting. Don't worry, you're not missing anything good.

paganfarmer,
Popupchinese with its focus on HSK exercises and more advanced reading and listening material is the perfect complement to this site. Which is why I actively use both CPod and Popup.

For your information: The guy behind Popup was a core team member of CPod until recently (and it shows on both sites). I am still secretly dreaming of a re-unification or at least some kind of alliance...

Here is another free online translation tool.  If I'm ever in doubt, I check them both.

The great thing about the Google translator is, that it's constantly being imroved through user feedback.

paganfarmer,
it might surprise you but in the country I come from the vast majority does not belong to any religion. I myself am agnostic (most of the time).

Does that all count as "pagan" for you?

 

P.S.: But do I "believe myself"? Not sure.
