Don't trust Babelfish

Alright, I knew that before. And my English is pretty good so I should te able to translate some text on my own and my good old dictionary.

But I was lazy and wanted to give that service another chance, hoping it may have inmproved over the years.

But trust me: it sucks bigtime. So, anyone who needs a translator because you don't know any other language beside your mother tongue, don't cound on Babelfish if you intend to translate whole sentences or larger text blocks. It's okay for single words, but when it comes to create intelligent sentences it's a no-no.

Ergo: I'll have to do it on my own and therefore please be patient with me, folks. ;)
