Babel Fish has been around forever, but I think blogs may create a wave of people who have a new need to use it to connect to friends and colleagues. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I've ever got a comment from an entire family before!Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293317607000363396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425734.post-1140803547601054942006-02-24T09:52:00.000-08:002006-02-24T09:52:00.000-08:00Hi Jeremy,Thanks for visiting my blog at Elgg.

It's just amazing that this sort of thing can be done now, despite the jumbled translation that tends to come out. At least it is coherent enough, usually, to make sense of.

Now all that needs to happen is some further refinement of the translating software!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280166625037904316noreply@blogger.com
