Jim I have been impressed lately by the Danish translation -I did send a
Hungarian letter about a lawnmower and they wondered why I was writing about
an electric battery:-)

Subject: google translator
has anyone recently checked out google's translator? it seems like it has
gotten much better.
i've heard that their translator (and this is the trend) does not attempt to
'understand' the text. instead, it accesses a huge database of translations
that, basically, look at how it has previously been done. which would make
it pretty good concerning standard, worn language, but of course less
valuable concerning less commonplace language.
