Some translators do a better job than others, and some HTML editors
produce "cleaner" HTML code than others. (Both subjects have been
beaten to death on this list.)
For any substantial volume of existing text, I'd want to save "retyping"
time by using the best translator I could find, and the best HTML editor
to clean up the results. (I like Allaire's HomeSite.)
Many HTML editors include a code validator--there are also a jillion
free validators and free validation sites on the web.
