Re: Anyone uses online translators?

So you are apparently advertizing your own page? That would make a better impression if you said that explicitly and wrote under your real name.

Anyway, I tested rather randomly how one of the online translation systems treats a sentence in your message. This illustrates how important correct spelling (and grammar) in the original is to automatic translation. Here's a Google translation:

"Für die, die sind, intereted in Entdeckung den Unterschied und vergleicht sie, ist hier eine Kreuzübersetzung Maschine und kennzeichnete Haupton-line-übersetzer."

Some of the obscurities get an explanation if you look carefully at the source text:

"For those who are intereted into find the difference and compare them, here is a cross-translation engine, featuring major on-line translators."
