I have used the Traditional Chinese -- English translator often to help a man from Hong Kong in the flat below, and I know this rule for BabelFish: always translate the translation back. If what you got is in any serious way unclear, modify the original until the translation is absolutely unambiguous when translated back.<br /><br />In fact the Chinese -- English translators are the best part of BabelFish, because they translate between a nearly uninflected language (ours) and a totally uninflected one, both languages preferring subject-verb-object order.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-77532855404747867452009-04-24T22:24:00.000+01:002009-04-24T22:24:00.000+01:00Tachybaptus [quoting moi] said: "I don't think he ...Tachybaptus [quoting moi] said: <I>"I don't think he will have to appear before the Select Committee.

But if you have served and fought for Britain in the Gurkhas (prior to 1997) you can bugger off. Just shows how bereft of ideas and morality this govt is.Stew Mnoreply@blogger.com
