Ie coming from a database and being translated before it appears on the page? Think it might be a long shot but worth a try. If not this, would anyone have any other ideas about how this might be achieved? there's the service behind bablefish....but the babelfish free service is only good for a laugh if you try to do anything complicated. the commercial stuff is better but basically still can't do better than the ordinary multi-lingual meatbots. btw check the archives, this was just recently discussed. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
