babelfish.com works pretty well for everything except Swedish, Aussie & Kiwi...those all all indecipherable...

Yes, but it translates literally and leaves out all the subtle nuances of colloquial language.

I can follow most of the Kiwi-speak...but the Aussie isms are hard to follow. And I learned Swedish from the muppets....

:lol: :lol: sorry Maureen...I'm just full of it tonight....:lol: :lol:

No apologizing. I'm good for razzing any old time. Keep 'em coming.

I am pretty full of it most of the time, myself.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Yep. Sure do, although I've forgotten a lot of it. My receptive language at this point is much stronger than my expessive.

I was born in the small town of Baumholder....not real big...but a player in the Cold War era.

Babelfish rules!

Well, the only downside is that it is machine translation. At this point in time it's still not the same because language is a living thing.

Liza: Interesting way of putting it! I have always been stronger in one language, able to listen in my second but not speak it very well. Was supposed to be able to read and write it. Wait, that was how many million years ago... ;)

Sari, you are still too young to rent a car in the US. How's that for weird? You can own a car, be a really good driver, but you can't rent a car.

You can rent a car. You just pay more though. I've rented a car in my own name since 21(only 23 though).
