Collective2 idea: language translation

Since C2 attracts some non Enlgish speakers from time to time, maybe it is time to consider adding a page translator to the main web pages, including forums. I have seen sites that you just click on a natonal flag or a word (like Espanol), and the whole page is almost instantly translated to that lnaguage. Not perfect, but a whole lot better than reading English to an Italian (or other language) speaking subscriber.

Top 30 languages spoken (and where spoken): http://www.vistawide.com/languages/top_30_languages.htm

after all, who knew that Palau was the other country in the world that spoke Japanese?

From a programming point of view, it would be a lot easier if everyone in the world agreed to learn English.

I think today that would be Mandarin (kind of like Chinese) actually… the most spoken language in the world and the gap with n°2, English that is, is widening. Oh well… Google has a neat auto translation…



My 2 mother languages are Dutch and French but English is just fine. :wink:
