For Chinese to English or English to Chinese I like this one:
 
For some others I like this
 
I like both because they not only translate but shows how to say it and you can click on the spoken box and it will say it.
 
Just remember even the best  electronic or book translation can be a good 15% wrong in the translation.  Some can be straight out wrong, some because they are using archaic words that are no longer in use.  some can be because the person is using a colloquial phrase only used in one region.

Are you talking about translating whole sentences, etc. or do you mean translating single words from one language to another?

You might find this one interesting.

Just be careful with whole sentences, etc. An electronic translator can never be as good as a living oneSmile
