How come when I translate your german to english, the translation ends up looking like a regular english sentence, with the words and verbage making sense, but when I ranslate some other folks german to english, it kinda is mixed up? Do you use a certain dialect or somthing that makes it easy to translate? What do you recommend for a translater, so that I can easily read german posts?
you can find me with my face in the keyboard, unshaven, listening to some nameless techno tragedy, and hashing through code over a cold cup a stale joe.

Hehe - I think as jcl most times tries to give concrete and factual answers he doesn't use much common language which you will find in most of the general postings... As for the translators you will see Babel Fish used a lot. I haven't used many translators but Babel Fish always was ok though I think with every translator you'll have the sense mixed up in some ways. Just try to translate a posting of yours and back (maybe for several times) and you'll laugh what comes out of it...  Enjoy your meal Toast

Hehe - I do not think for giving, while the JCL examines the majority of the markings, around the concrete and the answers, which are based on facts it much of used standard language that you find in the majority of the general postings…
Which refers the translators, sees you in Babel, which fishes much used. I did not use many translators, but the fish of Babel was always correct, although I think with each translator, who you have the direction mixed to the top side of the way or the others. Attempt the right to translate an entry it and back (probably during several times) and of you laughs, leaves outside it…

Some of the grammatical structures in German can be pretty hairy, especially in separated verb clauses which are unlike anything in english.. and need that human context to figure out. I think it will still be a while before babelfish can figure it all out correctly. Probably there is technology to do it already, but Babelfish is around 9-10 years old and a little dusty
