Hi Josh,
you have not understood my words? WILL not you understand me??
I do NOT want to translateany text from URL!
I do NOT want a "ONE WAY" program !
I want to translate MY OWN LETTERS!.
I'm the AUTHOR!. Not the URL!.
I want to translate business letters. Maybe I'll even translate a love
letter!
But NOT the endless nonsense from the Internet!
Have you understood now??
Programs to assist the USERS ! . THAT is the benchmark!
They are not intended for the gimmicks of programming!
