Hi there, I'm currently working on an ASP.NET 2.0 web application that basically maintains product catalogs.

The product descriptions are now in English, and we already designed the application to store the same descriptions in multiple languages as well (like Spanish or French).

Given the scenario that we would like to translate a product description from English to French, I would like to get the English description pre-translated by some automated translation tool, then let the user review the translated text and make any changes to it before saving it.

I have found Google AJAX Language API to be quite sufficient, but I would like to know if there are other alternatives to this, preferably something that can do translation on the server-side (instead of client-side with Google's tool). It doesn't matter if it's free or not.

I welcome any suggestions for other tools, or even other suggestions on alternative ways to achieve this goal.

Thanks!
