I would be interested if you are able to have this feature available in a reliable way because I had a german friend who was intersted in your blog but didn't want to tackle all the english. :P I am not able to get anything up to see how the German is, there is always an error message.

As for it REALLY working, I'll have to take some more time to look. It seemed to catch the gist, but for French readers you'd want to be very accurate to the English version, or they'd take it seriously and really be confused. I'll read some more later today when I've finished all my chores. *grin* I know it’s drawn from Hitchhiker’s…that’s why it’s so funny.

Yes, we did get your email. We figured the verdict would be something like that. Free online translators are invariably poor. Thanks for the analysis, we really appreciate it! Thanks, Jacqui!

Like, the description of the pic of mr. cherrix--it implies that the friend he's embracing is their only family friend. Just lots of little things like that....and it makes for an amusing read! babelfish (does anyone else die laughing over that name?) is fairly well-known to do a poor job of translating stuff, and it did a so-so job in french…but it can be pretty funny.
