    hello
    Do you have any advice on automated language conversion? i have a site that im advised would do well in other languages but i cant afford to pay for somebody to translate.
    Is there anything out there that may work?

    Hy Stephanie
    I just watched the movie of your talk about languages on the internet. It was very interesting for me – especially your suggestions of how to detect the language of the visitor of a site. This because I intend to launch an internet-service, which will have to function multilingual. And maybe your ideas will find the way into that service.
    Besides: For this post I use English instead of French, since my French is even worse than my English, although I’m Swiss (german part)… Thanks for your work! Patrick

    I’m just watching the Google video. You might find http://fr.librarything.com/ interesting, both because it is an useful website, and because they’re in a process of internationalization. The same contents (user community, their books, data about books) is availble in all languages, only the user interface changes.

    Videos, Videos! And Kittens!…

    Although there is just one week left for me here, I’m still in San Francisco. When Suw was here a few weeks ago, we seized the occasion to record another (video!) episode of Fresh Lime Soda. Our conversation takes the episode I mention in my &#82…

I’ve spoken on this topic a few times now (BlogCamp ZH, Reboot9, Google Tech Talks) and I’m looking forward to taking things further with these new chances to toss these problems around in public.
