Can anyone point me to good web sites or other sources to do English-to-Chinese translations? I have some phrases I want to translate for my fanfic.

Thanks!

Doesn't that only give the Chinese characters and not the phonetic spelling? That's what it did when I last tried it. Or is there an option I missed?

Piz,

These are the ones I use:

http://fireflychinese.home.att.net/index.html
The 'official' pinyary

http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/living_impaired/120078.html
Specific to Firefly

http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/mandarin.htm Not work safe due to some of the sidebar ads.

http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddictbasic
A dictionary where you can enter either the Chinese or the English, and results can be shown with either accent marks or sound numbers.

http://gb.waiyu.org:9000/
Another dictionary. This one also lets you builds sentences if you enter a combination of English and Chinese words.

http://www.pristine.com.tw/lexicon.php
Another dictionary.

Hope these help!
