I've never paid for it. They maybe have a paid service with live translators but the simple machine translation has always worked for me - with hilarious results sometimes ! This page is one I use

Thanks to both of you for pointing out useful gizmos. Has anyone any idea how the Spanish voice measures up as a realistic-sounding person, using the way of listening to words you type at imtranslator.com? It would certainly fool me but the English version sounded a little robotic. I'm quibbling really, the English 'chap' really doesn't sound too bad at all.
