| You may have noticed the appearance of the Translate button. Feel free to try it out. It doesn't have a very big vocabulary yet, but I'm working on it. |

| #22 The button, it works fine from my Epiphany browser under VMWare Debian. You have to be in an article it's set to translate. Try it on one of the Pak articles. |

| #18 Real men don't use spell chekers. And parsing Joe is a mental exercise - do you want us to all get lazy? We'll lose all our cognitive abilities and end up posting on Kos. |

| #11 This is THE MOST INNOVATIVE site I have ever seen! First Rantburg serves as an information BS filter, then what is left is translated. Now if we can git a spell checker for the comment section... |

| #6 Nothing can translate Joe. And do you really want to translate Muck? The world is a safer place. |
