Google Translate app: Do you think this would work to convert foreign recipes?

Don't know about the app
but I just went to google translate and put, in English to translate to French
1) 1 tsp
2) 1 teaspoon
and the French translation was the same.
As an aside, I have live chat on my website and I often have spanish speaking customers. Unfortunately I don't know the language but google translate lets me communicate effectively with them. Technology is amazing!

Yes, Betty...I am interested in translating some Italian recipes.
It's bizarre. I can look at a French recipe and mentally translate it...or a Spanish one, but Italian messes with my head every time. It's like reading knitting or macramé instructions. Just can't do it.
Thanks for all the good sites. I'm really terrible at finding new sources. I tend to use Babelfish because it's the first one I knew about. But yesterday I wanted to write out a phrase in Filipino (tagalog) and they don't have that option. All the other ones I found wanted me to download apps and I don't do that unless I trust the source.
