In case you didn't know... there is a free on line language translation service, which you can use with text or a web page url.
Long before Google was www.altavista.com aka altavista.digital.com ... once my favorite search engines. But Altavista lost its mind in the 90's going crazy with pop-up ads, which really pi$$ed a lot of us off. I mean they were really, really bad about pop-up ads. After thousands of us wrote flaming email comments and jumped ship they finally figured it out and reversed direction dropping the really excessive pop-up ads. I even received an apology Email from Altavista with a beg to try the service again (now without the pop-up window hell). Moving along... A redeeming service within altavista: Inside Altavista is the Babelfish* Translation function, which is killer for converting basic text and web pages for the more common (typical) languages. All I can tell you is to give it a try... Here's Altavista's main page: http://www.altavista.com/ **** Here's the Babel fish translation page: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ (now part of the Yahoo Group of Services... Babelfish.com still seems to function pretty well. **** Example one... A web page in Spanish: http://www.repetidor.com/notec.html Now copy and paste the above web page url into the babelfish Translate a web page line and select your desired from and to language choices... hit the translate button. Now sit back and sip your java (or red wine, no whites or zins) while the service converts the original web page to your language of choice. Not bad... eh ("eh" added for you Canadians and UP readers) enjoy, s. *Noted. Some of you are fans of or have read "The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Universe.
