Have seen commercial of huge masses of cars sold out in a small village close to me, not a chance this huge amount of cars have been left unsold there, guess it is some of these automatic algorithms. > It would be better to implement that technology on the web site than trying > to manually translate documents. BUt as I said the user can do it anyway. Not sure but I do not want to depend on a reliable internet conection for documentation to work, want it stored locally at least then done, Internet connection does not work reliable for me all the time, old via telephone line worked rather reliable, new via fiber optics is faster but is often interrupted. _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
