1.When the hyperlink is activated the Babelfish (
) page
will appear with the URL which should be translated. Choose the desired language by using the
pull-down menu and then click on "TRANSLATE".
The Babelfish programme gives a rough translation of the original text. The better the grammar
of the original text the better the translation, but you cannot rely on it. The programme has
trouble with translating diacritical marks.Do not use the translation for official purposes.
When not the whole text is translated, due to its lenght, then transportthe rest of the text to the
Babelfish site with cut-and-paste techniques and be translated in parts. Unfortunately also all
family- and christian names are translated.
As soon as the translation-programme is used all documents under hyperlinks will be translated
automatically, but with the same restriction. When one wants the hyperlinked document in the
original language the hyperlink should be activated from the original document.
"Babelfish" is from origin an universal translation-device in the form of a fish which is put in the ear and which first appeared in The (Ultimate)(Complete) Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Should it not work out as it is meant to be then use the galaxian hitchhiker's mantra: " DON'T PANIC!" Back to document
