It's now Jan 31st at 1300 hours EST and its still NOT working...
Going from English to German ist Kaput!
Going from English to Italian on the phrase "How are you today?" it
translates the How, are, & you but as soon as it hits "today" it
bombs.
For the Google employees, just as an FYI... there IS such a thing as
beta testing software BEFORE you roll it out and there ARE ways to
roll out without bringing entire services down!
