Some of this translation technology has a way to go yet for sure. I just added Google's Toolbar to my browser and it has an automatic foreign language detection capability and will offer to translate the web page for you. So far it has told me several times that the VO-BB site is in Danish, "would you like a translation?", and my board game group through Meetup.com is in Slovak, "would you like a translation?" I keep telling it no, but next time I want it to reveal to me what we're really saying here.

Tak, og har en dejlig dag.

Yeah, I can ALWAYS tell when a client sends me a computer-translated script.
Most of the time they are UN-voiceable! Rolls Eyes
