It sometimes becomes difficult for some to know what their posts are about, but Google has some help. As well as viewing the placemark you can copy and paste the text into the ever growing translation list at Google Translates . Alternatively if your a power user, you can add instant translate buttons to your browser HERE Take note: These tools are not totally accurate and are just a guide, but with the GE view and the translation, should give the user a good idea what the Poster is conveying. Have fun, I know I do, learning about other language's. -------------------- One day you may be the Bug, another you may be the Windshield Post Extras:       Hill Master Guide Reged: 10/31/04 Posts: 8870 Loc: Los Angeles Re: Translate a post [Re: TheLedge]       #1099572 - 01/22/08 08:07 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Three other possibilites: 1) TranslationBooth 2) Babel Fish 3) Windows Live Translator Edited by Hill (01/25/08 03:41 PM) Post Extras:       Noisette Master Guide Reged: 01/14/06 Posts: 5975 Loc: Belgium Re: Translate a post [Re: Hill]       #1144210 - 04/03/08 12:24 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Here are a few more: Free Online Language Translation, for some languages this calls InterTran WorldLingo For Vietnamese: VDict.com The first one also provides links to three sites which can help you identify a language: TextCat Language Guesser CA : Language Identifier Applied Language Solutions Language Identifier ** Edit: Google Translate now also provides language identification. More info: Official Google Blog ** If the accents in the text you are seeing on the screen aren't displayed correctly, or the text looks like garbage, you probably need to change the encoding in your browser: IE7 => Page menu - Encoding Firefox => View menu - Character Encoding Opera => View menu - Encoding Safari => View menu - Text Encoding Try Unicode UTF-8, and if that doesn't work, try some other options, the location of the placemark will probably give a clue as to what the language might be and which option to choose. Note also that the text sometimes displays correctly in the placemark in GE, but not in the post on the BBS, so it may be easier to copy the text from the placemark, if you have difficulty selecting right to left languages with the mouse, just use ctrl-A to select everything, that's for Windows, sorry can't help for the Mac or Linux Edited by Noisette (06/03/08 01:59 AM) Post Extras:       TheLedge Master Guide Reged: 01/30/06 Posts: 11331 Loc: East London.
