Five best (free!) online Hebrew translation sites
I think it’s best to take advantage of every resource available when studying a language. Naturally, your computer can be the most beneficial resource in your arsenal. Not only can you configure your computer to type in Hebrew but you can use your computer to find websites to help with translations and study guides.
A word of warning: Be careful not to get too attached to these resources as they may serve as more of a crutch than is beneficial to your memorization of a foreign language.
Here are the five best Hebrew translation websites I’ve used:
1. Google Translate
No translation program is perfect but having used several ‘cut-and-paste’ translation sites previously, I found the Google translation page to be the most effective. Not to mention, I’ve always had a hard time finding a translation site that accommodates Hebrew as well. Google truly shines with their service which is both easy to use and thorough!
2. Morphix Dictionary
Morphix is the premier online Hebrew-English dictionary. This site has been immensely useful to me to look up individual words. My only gripe is that verbs are only conjugated in their masculine-singular form. For a beginner, this can be confusing. Regardless, it’s a excellent resource to look up words quickly.
3. Babylon Translation Program
Technically, this isn’t a web based online translation site but rather a free download of the Babylon translation program. It installs as a toolbar to your browser and desktop application so when you need a word translated, you simply press Ctrl + right click on the word or sentence you wish to translate and Babylon does it instantly for you. It’s so fast and easy it nearly makes me feel lazy!
If you have scruples downloading software onto your computer, then this isn’t for you. But for those of you interested in having a free translation service at your finger tips, check this one out.
4. Reverso
This free translation site isn’t exactly elegant but it includes Hebrew-English translation and in the world of online translations sites, that’s reason enough to make my list! Simply enter the text or word you’d like translated in the text box and click the EN-HE or HE-EN translation that you desire. Again, all neutral gender sentences in English are translated to the masculine Hebrew form. Beware.
5. Fagan Finder Translation Wizard
I found this site only useful when translating single words. It doesn’t particularly work well with full sentences or large text. It does include many languages that wouldn’t normally be available with free online translations sites like Latvian, Slovenian, and Tagalog. Because it’s accommodating to right-to-left languages, I thought it might be a useful resource if the other sites above fall short in some way.
Do you use a free online translation site or dictionary that I missed and is worth mentioning? Let us know in the comments section!
