translator for use with minimal browsers (solved: use babelfish.de)

[Member andfree]

Does anybody got google translator (or similar) work with any of the most minimal browsers (Dillo, Links 2, NetSurf)? In all of them, this error message appears:

403. That’s an error.
Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server. (Client IP address: )

That’s all we know.

A quick web search gives many returns, a few are linked below. Beyond them not sure where to look further.

I understand that Google Translate uses JavaScript-based client-side processing, which doesn’t work with minimal browsers.

An online translator that works fine for me with Dillo, Links2 etc. is http://www.babelfish.de/ (which is independent of babelfish.com, not working on minimal browsers). Note that the translation will appear above the input field and in some cases might be easily overlooked.

Thanks for this maroc, it looks to be a gem of a find.

Thank you, too. It seems to be a useful tool. Not so good for phrases as for words, but certainly a satisfactory solution.
