Yes Siska, that German fellow got a very good software. Germans are very intelligent and perfectionist when it comes to do something. They always search for perfection in everything they do. It comes with their culture. The software he was using had to be purchased and was only sold in Germany!. So nothing to do with the ones from google, babe and all the rest. They're pretty bad translators. On the other hand my keyboard is American or British and doesn't have accents, plus lacks of a word in the Spanish alphabet which makes even more difficult the appropriate translation to any Internet translator. However, giving a shot from English into Spanish translation and the result is most of time very inaccurate. Mayka

Your german friend must have done a good editing.

I knew a German man who hardly speak English but he had such an almost perfect German software translating languages that we were all very surprise when he told us that he didn't speak much English and that all the job was made by his translator!. I don't use translator into English when I write and do straight forward in the mail. Only lately started to make a use of the spellchecker from the yahoo mail set when a member of the group didn't like much find spelling mistakes. I could write better English most of times if I spent time on it. But that would take me very long time and so I do in the fastest way.

It was a long time ago, and I lost that capability.

We have plenty of dialects here. Did you use translator software or do you speak the language?

They don't understand each other if they are not used to other's tones. Bu ------------------------------------ Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading!
