Most Getgrapes.com non english clients are from Europe and South America. The language barrier can be a problem and for many of you vineyards you may not be familiar with translations or software. Yes real translators are expensive and can take some time, so here are a couple options for you.

Since Getgrapes only deals in the English Language in it's mail and contracts, here are a couple translating groups and software available on the internet to help you.

• Systran : http://www.systransoft.com

This website will allow you to enter text in your native language and translate it to English. You can see getgrapes uses this software on it's website and it will also work for documents. It is not good enough for legal documents and if you use it on this site you will see it's limitations BUT for those who can not read english, we felt it was worth the effort to try to reach them in such a cost effective manner.

• Worldpoint : http://www.worldoint.com

This company is a high end translator service. You can open an account and send in your documents in your native language or "any " language and have it translated by any one of over a 1,000 professional translators worldwide into any number of languages.
You fill in the blanks on how many "words" in a document and they will give you a real-time quote of the cost of translation before you move on. (Good for general business documents you need in a hurry).
