Recently I have been using the MyMemory website to get useful, human-generated
expressions and sentences to enhance my L2 learning. Probably not all the translations
are quite right but for English > Dutch, they look very good. The site says the
translations are: "From professional translators, enterprises, web pages and freely
available translation repositories".

You won't usually get direct translations, except for simple expressions and sentences.
But you will get quite a variety of related expressions and sentences from which you can
learn a lot. My technique is to enter a short sentence or just several related words, and
then browse through all the offerings.

If you like this site, check out linguee.com. It's very similar.

Wow! That is an excellent site! It is limited to French, English, German, Spanish and
Portuguese. I wish it also included Dutch.

Thanks for that link.
