I’ve been using google language tools to translate english to french but the translations aren’t very accurate. Does anyone know a really good (free) online site I can go to? Possibly a site that can translate french slang words too.

Select the language your using and the one you want it to translate to.
You can get it to say the word or translate.
Im not sure about the slang because I take spanish but its worth a try.

Yahoo answers is the only reliable site you can use. (Word reference isn’t too shabby either)

Altavista’s Babelfish site is pretty good. It translates somewhat literally, but it’s free and you’ll get your point across.

Err I’d say none of them. Maybe, this site.
All of the translators never give a correct translation for they lack correct grammar and give literal translations.

None of them is the best. All are the worst.
Considering the way they work they can’t give you a real accurate translation, most of the time just an idea you need to rephrase correctly.

There are multiple sites that do this kind of thing, but in reality, they all use technology provided by two or three companies.
All of them do a terrible job for complex sentences, or phrases using colloquial expressions. It is likely to remain that way for a long time.
