What are some good translation tools and which one do you personally use?
AFAIK, the best automated translation tool is google translate.
However, even the best automated tool will not be accurate. I personally never use automated translations - my thinking is that if I'm to spend xx-xxx to test an offer, there's no reason to stinge on the $5 required to get manual translations from Fiverr - if you choose gigs that have a 4.8+ rating and lots of reviews you can't go wrong! Each gig will get 100-1000 words translated. The downside is you'll need to wait up to a week or more for your translations (although, there are gigs that have a 24 hour turnaround or less).
And if you don't have a lot of text to translate, and/or wouldn't mind paying more for faster turnaround, OneHourTranslation may quickly become your new best friend. 
Any other suggestions?
