Do you know of a website that translates English word to Chinese?

Hmm, http://dict.cn/ime/ is awesome fast.

Thank you, Man2Toe !

good presentation of results:

jiantizi, fantizi, links to pronunciations, choice of number pinyin or diacritical marks, Chinese typing facility etc etc..

It uses the translation engine of Altavista's Babelfish for translations.

The first one above is also my first choice.

Just see that Man2Toe has mentioned it too as first one,

I just want to add that pinyin entry IS possible at:

http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/webime2_pinyin.php

by clicking onto 拼音 Type Pīnyīn in the left column.

A bit off-topic:

Good for annotations:

also ok: http://hmarty.free.fr/hanzi/

Convert pinyin tone numbers to tone marks:

converts zhuyin fuhao (better known as bopomofo or bpmf) to Hanyu Pinyin:

Be weary when translating full sentences with these types of tools. They often translate literal meaning word for word and many times the nuances and gramatically correct structures are lost.

As a beginner, I like this site. It has lots of stuff but the dictionary seems extensive and accurate.

i find this quite useful!

I am italian too by the way! ;-)

Install a translating software maybe give u some help.

it can translate english to chinese, then use the function "catch words in screen" , u will get the pinyin.

I use this really comprehensive web resource:

For offline use, I use dimsum - there's a link to it on the above page. It's a really great java translator/dictionary/stroke order/pronunciation tool for studying Mandarin (runs on XP/Mac/Linux). I've been using it for the last year and it rox! Be sure to also install the speech package to hear the spoken words.

Hope this helps.

I am sooo confuzed with the characters!!!! I think for me learning pinyin and then the characters later on would be more helpful.

hmm, pinyin, the above 3 may not help. Why just pinyin?
