    Would be helpful if you posted the phrases.

    indeed!
    but you can try here also: http://babelfish.altavista.com/
    it will give you a literal, word for word translation, but may not get the meaning across.

    Just to give you an example of Babelfish in action, I put

    "The time has come, the Walrus said, to speak on many things"

    I translated this to french, to the french translation and translated it back to english, and got

    "The moment came, the said Morses, to speak about many things"

    It tries to translate word for word, which doesn't make sense most times in other languages. Like we would say, "my name is...". In some other languages you say, "I call myself...".

    isn't it a video he wants translating?

    Not so easy just to use an online translator unless it's real simple words in French he knows the spelling for

    "je der gerdy ooh lala bonjy boule que avec mois su lay hangor?

    If it was french then you could probably place, " RUN, HIDE, QUIT, I'M SCARED!!, I GIVE UP" and that should suffice.
