Peter Zavon <PZavon@...> #148775 This is indeed a useful tool but it, like all automated translators currently available, can make some improbable word selections or grammatical choices. If you know the language into which it is doing a translation, you can catch the egregious errors, reword your original and reach a pretty useful translation. If you don't know the language, you are as likely to say something stupid, offensive or completely without meaning in the target language as you are to successfully request your great aunt's birth certificate. Best to use these tools in combination with knowledge of the target language.

May I draw your attention to the website www.babelfish.altavista.com where you will find a free translator. snip< It works quite well. I used it to write to a genner in France and although I do speak French, I felt lazy. Either retype or, better still, use your copy/paste facility. David Kravitz Bournemouth England
