Noticed a HUGE gaff in the translation. Had to research to figure out why it didn't fit, but I'm here posting this because I respect the project and figure this fits.
The original text of "Soy Tu Aire" in question: "Me acomodo, te incomodo, pa que rías" I know enough Spanish at the offset that "pa" does not mean what in southern US slang what it meant in the original Spanish, but I had to research to figure that out because in Google translate that line reads: "I settle, you uncomfortable, you laugh pa" Best understanding, based on careful research is that the proper translation is: "I settle, you're uncomfortable, so you laugh" Big difference. Not transliteration, but for/so is a weird grammar thingy in Spanish. Fixing it so that "pa" translates to "for" would get the proper intent across, and turn a future museum piece (cf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhRbX4qRt8I) into something not quite so... creepy. :) Strong suggestion: Find that code, buy the rights, archive it. It is exactly what Brin and Page meant by "Don't Be Evil". Original site is gone. Somebody has to save that code. Do the right thing. Interacting with that song was... It was interactive art.
