Furthermore, Bing's cut waaaaaaaay down on the number of languages that can be translated from. And there is no "button" for auto - translation of foreign websites. Seems as if this is a new form of control of the masses via confusion of the languages. God forbid decent people be able to talk to each other without a government authorized translator.

I've relied upon babel fish for years in order to communicate with my non-english speakin neighbors. I would type what I wanted to say in simple sentence structure, then copy paste to notepad. Then I would fold the printout in half and take it across the fence.

Am I the last to know about this microsoft takeover of babelfish?

What are the rest of GS' using that might come close to the old, reliable, easy-to-use functionality of [Alta Vista]Yahoo! Babel Fish?

Thanks.

Babelfish has been reliable for 10, maybe 15 years? Great site. I'm surprised it's finally be acquired.

Same o'strategy...buy the jewel, disrupt the masses, call it "new and improved." Hrrrrmph! I suspect the Alta Vista-Yahoo! Babel fish functionality will disappear completely before too much longer. This stinks!

I just found out less than one hour ago.

There's some iPhone app that'd supposed to be as magical as the star trek universal translator, my wife's company uses it. I'll as her.

I know, Sparky, you just can't help yourself sometimes, yes? LOL

However, I think the funniest thing you said was in suggesting that we translate English using the English to English translation feature.

What a worl', eh?
