Are there any online standardized language exams?
Unfortunately it is not easy for me to take a day off in the mid of the week to sit an official examination. Apparently there are some free or cheap tests but they are not proctored. Do you know any affordable online proctored tests with verified identity that can be done from home?

Which online translator works best for you?
When I first tested online translators it was clear that they were not very good but, truth be said, machine translations are getting more and more accurate. It seems to me that Microsoft Bing translator works slightly better than Google translate, at least from English to Spanish and Portuguese and vice versa.
I use a couple of tricks to get a better automatic translation.If I have some idea of how to say it in English, I try pasting my attempt into the translator to see how it is reverse translated into my native language which may give me some idea about possible misunderstandings. Then I use Linguee or Google to paste parts of my translated text and see how similar phrases are used in a similar context.
Which ones do you use and what is your experience so far?
