What online translator are you using?

I have been using SpanishDictionary.com. I like it for its vocab translation and verb conjugation, but I am thoroughly fed up by all of its "baggage." There are just far too many ads that are far to obtrusive. Some pop up if you just happen to run the cursor across them, and I swear the video of some of them just take off on their own some times. I feel like a person with ADHD trying to drive down the Las Vegas strip at night! Actually I can deal with the distraction pretty well, but it seems that quite often when I leave a tab open to SpanishDict while working here, things start to slow way down and Firefox sometimes quits responding. I know that "free" sites depend on advertising for revenue, but when the ads overpower the content it is time for a change. So, now that my rant is finished, I wonder what other translators people here are using? I use Google Translate sometimes, it seems okay to point me in the right direction for a phrase or sentence, but not quite as robust as I would like.

I have just started with a new Spanish tutor. She suggested www.reverso.net. I have previously used Google Translate. I am still getting to know this new Translator site. There are still ads but it seems to do a more complete job of translating. Let me know what you think.

I like bing. http://www.bing.com/translator/?fr=srch_more It seems to have more actual translations and not literal if I am saying that correctly. For example typing "de pie" in some gets you "of foot." But it really means standing.

I found http://www.linguee.com/english-spanish to be thorough and helpful. I don't seem to be bothered by ads.

http://www.spanishdict.com/ It includes audio pronunciations and translations from as many as three different sources. The website works well on my iPhone, too. I don't find that the ads get in the way.
