- The cool thing about this site is that the annotation algorithm for site is being constantly updated. Which means that the translations (annotations) are getting better all the time. The only drawback is that you have to cut and paste the chinese onto this site in order to see the annotation. I prefer instant annotation tools, such as hanzibar and chinup (firefox plugins). These are especially good when you just need to mouse-over a single word you don't know. However, adsotrans is definitely more accurate when you need to cut and paste full sentences/paragraphs. Adsotrans can also be used in your own website - like you see in http://adsotrans.com/newsinchinese/ - as long as you give credit to the guy).

- My favourite way of translating Chinese words or passages. The site merely reprints whatever you give it, whether it be Roman letters or sinograms, but moving the mouse cursor over the latter brings up their standard [for which read "official"] Chinese pronounciation as well as meaning in English, sometimes even appropriately conjugated. Do give it a try if you're learning Chinese, but be warned that if you want to translate traditional Chinese characters instead of the simplified ones then you need to select the appropriate option.
