for those folks who have difficulties with the translation, I recommend
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr
it's not perfect, but it will give the English-only speakers a fair idea...
here is how bablefish translates this message into French:
"pour ces gens qui ont des problèmes avec la traduction, je recommande
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr
il n'est pas parfait, mais il donnera aux haut-parleurs de l'anglais
seulement une ideal juste...
voici comment le bablefish traduit ce message en francais:"
Soon, these issues will be irrelevant, because we'll be able
to set our computers for instant-translation.
