The topic title pretty much sums it up; does it work well enough?
Thanks,

It depends on what the destination language is.
Well anyways you must always double check the translated text

I agree, online translators are good enough to understand some text, but not really suitable to translate text that you wish to publish.

From which language in which other language do you want to do translations?

If it's not too much text to translate, I could help you with German (although this is not on your list).

You could ask Vairon for help with Spanish... yes, my friend, I have just volunteered you.

Hmmm...well, there is actually a LOT of text. That's why I had been thinking about using google. One thing to consider, would be for me to use google to translate, then certain parties(if they felt so obliged, especially considering that my game is full and commercial) could check the text for errors. Any thoughts, kind souls?

P.S.
German would be good too.

Thanks,
James
