I used Babelfish until it's demise without problem. Now Google Translate doesn't seem to work for me - it isn't interested in any languages other than English, French and Spanish and doesn't even translate those. Is it me? (again!)
Well it is offered by a UK seller. So the english original title would be better. www.google.com/translate shows 77 possible languages to translate into and from. Must be you David. Your text: UK > afrikaans: Ek gebruik Babelfish totdat dit is ondergang sonder probleem. Nou Google Translate lyk nie vir my werk nie - dit is nie geïnteresseerd in enige ander taal as Engels, Frans en Spaans en nie eens vertaal diegene. uk > chinese (traditional) 我用寶貝魚，直到它是沒有問題的消亡。現在谷歌翻譯不似乎為我工作 - 它是不感興趣的英語以外的任何語言，法語和西班牙語，甚至不把這些。
Well, I used Google translate and chose "detect language". Pasted in the item description and it said 'German', and translated thus: 'Tilley Versatile sodium vapor lamp book Jim Dick Tilley lamps story' A book? By Jim Dick? Sodium vapour?? Still none the wiser. Ah wait! Here we are: Tilley vapour lamp history by Jim Dick. I see you have a copy David!! But the real question is: What's an 'auw auw'?
You are limited by the amount of text you can put in with Babelfish, that's one reason I went with Google translate.
Auw is the pain in my head from reading this.... A "Natriumdampflampe" is the orange light you have on the highway lanterns ... So an electrical thigny
Aah! Sodium street lamps. Dreadful things. I though auw auw might have been some kind of bird or small mammal . . .
hmm, off topic: there is a small bird with big balls whch is called the oughough bird. Because it makes that sound while landing..
