Babbelfish is not the ideal translation tool!
 
Ok, being a "foreign' webmaster myself I understand not all foreign people speak English that well.. but sometimes it seems like they're just putting a couple of words together they found on the internet in random order, or it looks like they discovered babbelfish...

example:"Here you will see as the woman the boss seduces the young secretary, in the cabinet on a desktop. Just as the woman in the bed plays with different toys and it at it turns out very well. If you do not believe, look here!!!! "

Please people, a little effort would be appreciated.

You know, I've been thinking aobut that for a long time - I only build sites in English because that's the only language I know. I only post on English speaking boards becasue, again, that's the only language I know.

Sute, I know a little Spanish - my trip to Mexico a few years back reminded me that I didn't forget everything I learned in High School - but I'd never dream of translating a site into Spanish.

I always think of this when I see posts/sites like that:
Bart: (reading cue cards) Hello, Mr... Kurns. I bad want... money now. Me sick.
Homer: Ooh, he card reads good.

Hi Greenguy,

that is perfectly okay ... for the rest of the languages you have services like ours.

Have a nice day!
