Google Translate

[jdbnsn]

Just for the information of any of our non-English speaking guests, I have embedded an automatic "translate this page" which can be found on the bottom right corner of each page. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the translation but hopefully it will make it easier for you to find your way around.

Jon,

For best effect I suspect a "heads up" to our "non-English speaking" guests needs as a minimum not to contain slang terminology such as "heads up" but more importantly ... needs by definition to not be in English.

Maybe a good solution would be to place it under the search box where non-English speaking guests would quickly find it rather than in the footer?

You are being a busy bee today Monsieur Benson. :)

I can't do anytthing about placement, and there are way too many languages to translate them all. When I am less exhausted I'll think about this more.

It work well for those like you Jon who write correctly, but for CB.... ;)
only problem is hat it log me out to make the translation. + It translate every page after that.

But the problem is... how will they understand that you are telling them this in the first place if they dont understand english?:?

Huh. I translated it into german, but then the quick reply and other boxes went away... And it can't untranslate deutsch back into english, its broken, so i ended up having to just go back a page and then post this. But it's still very cool~

As for the above statements;
-Yes, I forgot to mention that it logs you out when you use it. I looked for a way around this and there just isn't one.

-People will understand my instructions above if they cannot speak English because what most people do is copy and paste pages into babelfish or google translate and do essentially the same thing, this is just making it a little easier for the.

-It will not translate the text on graphic images and it converts whatever is on the page into blocks of text. It's not intended to mean "convert this page to..", it merely takes a snapshot of the text and translates it using google's language tools.

Don't apologize Sly,

I was just answering the questions, they were good questions and it's important for folks to understand how new features.
