Chinese translation website

[npoon]

I am looking for a website that will translate English to Chinese...ideally, if I could get a free pocket pc English-Chinese dictionary that would be great.
btw, when going to Beijing, do most people read the simplified Chinese or the other one.

It's HARD, tranlate english-to-Chinese properly
good luck! the dictionary is probably more helpful

And yes, the official language is Mandarin, and Simplified Chinese, not traditional chinese

In the Regional and Language settings of the Control Panel you have to got to Languages and in Supplemental Language support and Install files for East Asian Languages. Then you can see Chinese and you also get a language bar so you can change input methods to type Chinese.

If you are using Internet Explorer, pop in your Windows Xp CD into your cd drive, and go click on view -> encoding -> more -> click on any of the chinese one until it doesnt show up as a block. (there is a few simplified ones and one traditional chinese big5)
