Hi,Here is an idea about the intermittent nature of how long the translations will not refresh. Perhaps, if Google is using several computers -- which they probably are -- I wonder if it could just be chance about what computer you happen to get. Perhaps some of them do refresh the base page properly, and perhaps others do not. Maybe which one you get is even language dependent. I've had some indication -- although I cannot be certain -- that some languages do worse than others. I seem to have had the worst trouble, for example, with French. In any case, what should happen is what happens with Babel Fish -- when you click "refresh" on the translation, before doing anything else, the Google computer should also download a refreshed base page from which to translate. As it is now, it clearly re-does the translation -- which you can see happening -- but translates a page it may have downloaded days ago.Best regards, Jacob Abernathy

Sometimes if you refresh the translations, the changes you posted will post within a few minutes. However, sometimes it literally takes days. (No kidding.) You can try it yourself. At the other end of the spectrum sometimes it doesn't take minutes, but will come up immediately. With Babel Fish, on the other hand, the changes in the translation are available the instant you make them -- after you refresh the translation, of course. It appears that Google must be somehow saving the page locally on the computer where they are doing the translation, and not allowing the base page to refresh much of the time. I really don't understand what is going on to cause the intermittent nature of the problem -- you would think it would always be one way or the other, but it isn't. If you have any sort of a page that updates things in a timely manner, the way Google does things just does what you want in. I'm not talking about truly dynamic Web pages either -- merely ones, like Yahoo, for example, -- that change throughout the day to reflect current news, for example. Thanks for the interest. I REALLY hope Google will fix this.
