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.

>> Bonjour Monsieur Jean Marie THOULON:
>>
>> I guess you must be very very fond of your "French language."
>> Remember that
>> this is a forum where people all over the World are communicating, and also
>> remember that only few of the interest group members may have heard of the
>> French language. Thus we recommend strongly that you try to do us some good
>> favour by enrolling into a refresher course in "PURE ENGLISH" Language and
>> start translating your postings into English the universal, golden
>> language of our generation. Doesn't the French government provide English
>> language courses to you at high school. If so then you should NOT vote for
>> him the next time.
>>
>> Good day,
