A good website for text translation between English and Chinese

Recently there is a need to translate some English documents to Chinese. Since the documents are long and also with some unfamiliar words, I need to look up dictionary to translate the documents. It is tedious and time-consuming. One of my friends sent me a link (http://us.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=translate) that point to a online translation. After I evaluates the translation back and forth, I found that it does a good job. I decided to use the site to do the initial translation and then modify it to make the translation final. The following is the Chinese translation of this paragraph.

最近有需要翻译一些英文文件中。由于文件很长,也存在一些不熟悉的话,我需要查字典翻译的文件。这是繁琐和费时。我的一个朋友给我一个链接(http://us。mdbg。网/ chindict / chindict。PHP的?页=翻译)是指向一个网上翻译。在我的翻译评估来回,我发现它做得很好。我决定使用这个网站做初步翻译,然后对其进行修改,使翻译决赛。以下是本款的中文译本。

Based on my personal view, this is very good. What I need to do is change the order of the words and make the sentences more smooth and fluent. It can same me a lot of time.  The following Chinese translation was from Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/).

I can hardly find difference between the two versions of Chinese translation. So you can use either one to do the initial translation. To be aware that both websites can do translation in another way around, that is, from Chinese to English.

Here is an example. The following paragraph is original Chinese paragraph.

美国经济尚未完全走出阴影,政府现在感到巨大的压力,首要任务是增加美国人的就业职位,可是如何增加就业呢?目前还没有一个最好的方法。

English translation from Google Translate:

U.S. economy is not completely out of the shadows, the Government now feel great pressure, first and foremost task is to increase American jobs, but how to increase employment? There is no one best way.

English translation from MDBG.net:

US economy is not completely out of the shadows, the Government now feel great pressure, first and foremost task is to increase American jobs, but how to increase employment? There is no one best way.

To me, the two versions of translation are same. I will use either one to do the initial job. Thank for the technology advancing, now we can save hours to complete the tedious translation from one language to another.
