Translate one Italian word at a time using the Babel Fish free online translator (see Resources). This is an easy and fast tool for word translations but is less reliable when you attempt to translate whole sentences. However, depending on the complexity of the text, this may work well enough to translate the meaning.
Use Dictionary Translator to translate the text sentence-by-sentence (see Resources) from Italian to English. Compare the translation from Babel Fish with this translation. The more translators you use, the clearer the translation will be. This translator works for most sentences; however, there may be gaps in the translation that will require further translating.
Post any problem sentences or unclear translations with the original Italian on a language-exchange website such as the Mixxer (see Resources). These websites have communities of native Italian speakers eager to help those learning their language. You can also use these websites for second opinions on the entire translation.
