#6 Nothing can translate Joe.

And do you really want to translate Muck?

The world is a safer place.

#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...

#12 Use Firefox. It has a built in spell checker as well as a way to disable Flash and animated GIFs.

#13 Windows Internet explorer has a spel chigker button. All we have to do is get folks to use it.

#17 3dc, I note that the chellspecker doesn't like Obama.

What suggestions does it give you?

#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.

#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.
