Chinese text translation

Hey bros!  Was just wondering what program, add on, plug in, or website is best for translating chinese text into the Queens English??  To put you in the picture I am a BBC fluent in Cantonese but can't read or write the stuff. Tried google and babel fish and it just comes back 90% of the time as gobbledygook.  Thanks in advance!!

There aren't any; certainly none that give reliably accurate translations. For simple Mandarin phrases, Google Translate is about as good as it gets, but I don't think Google does Cantonese.

If you are fluent in Cantonese then you might want to try this.

It's Cantonese text-to-speech and much much better than the best Chinese - English software translation. It's more like having someone read to you in Cantonese the Chinese article, or passage, you are interested in. Therefore no mis-translation. I tried it with posts from the Chinese 141 forums and it was hilarious because of all the dirty talk.
