Margie, It makes good sense. When I worked in Thailand 18 years ago, my Thai vocabulary was just enough for bargaining in a fish market. Now it is much smaller. But I still recognize the word 'puying' next to 'woman', so I knew it is translation from the beginning. Regards, Anthony

I really, really like it, VERY easy to use. The reason some of the tags were in Thai is because I turned on translation in the set up, and I believe this part is still in beta. But I think what it does is translate based on the visitors IP address. In other words, if you were in Germany the tags would have been in German, if you were in Bolivia the tags would have been in Spanish, etc. I turned it on because I thought it would be nice for people for whom english is a second language. I also think it's important to remember when putting anything on the web to remember the "world wide" part. Everyone who sees it will not have english as their first language, and they may not speak english at all. It seems like simple courtesy and politeness to me. Hope this answers your questions - if not just post again. :-) Margie (roloro1557) --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps.com, <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ..> wrote: > > Margie, > > I was looking through you blog and went to your PROFILE.
