I know online translators are never particularly accurate but I don't really mind.Where can I find a good onilne English to Latin translation?
There is no such thing.
Machine translators can't cope with any modern language that has complex syntax and grammar, let alone Latin which is a highly contextual language, that means you can only be sure about your translation of a particular expression if you know the text as a whole.
Example: "salis pulchra est" literally translated means "(the) salt is beautiful" but it could also mean that "the wages are great"
Stay away from the machine translators and ask a forum of real people.
On this site there are several people who translate Latin well and don't mind as long as it isn't too much at once.
NEVER, ever trust a translation that is derived from a machine translator!
If you are looking for a dictionary and can cope with the grammar yourself you can use http://lysy2.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wor鈥?/a>Where can I find a good onilne English to Latin translation?
Try this website:

I am unsure whether it deals with Latin, but it deals with a lot of languages...
