Feedback for incorrect translations
Results from automatic translation are not as reliable as human translations. Additional information from you will help us improve future translations. To report that a translation is correct or incorrect, press the thumbs up or thumbs down button.

To give feedback about an incorrect translation, please go to our Translation Quality feedback page. There you can tell us about the incorrect translation and let us know how we can improve it. The more specific your comment is, the easier it will be to improve.
Incorrect auto-detected languages
When the source language is set to "Auto-Detect", Translator attempts to determine the language of your content automatically. In short texts, there is sometimes not enough information to detect the correct language. In that case please choose the source language manually.
I am not able to translate some webpages
To protect your privacy, Translator does not translate https sites and sites that require login information. Some sites explicitly prevent being run within viewers like Microsoft Translator.
