Google have launched a new translation service, so you can make your music business website available to a whole new market.
Google Translation launched today. It’s not the first off the block, and there have been web translation services before — but as far as I can tell, this is the best yet. Why not make what you do available to a non-Anglophone audience? There’ll be the odd embarrassing misuse of words, but short of paying a real translator, this is an easy way into accessibility to more potential fans/customers…

Being married to a professional translator (and having successfully worked in the industry myself) there’s a good way of checking the accuracy of a machine translation into a language in which you’re not fluent.
1. Translate English >> non-fluent language
2. Translate output back to English.
You’ll pick out the gross errors quite quickly
Um, well, yes…

Why is it that torrential rain brings out disabled shoppers in droves?
That’s the only logical explanation for the fact that EVERY SINGLE disabled slot was taken at ALL the stores I visited today.
Not that I need preferential parking. Yet.
Or is it that the usual lazy buggers selfishly grabbing disabled parking – which pisses me off at the best of times – are joined by aquaphobic lazy buggers selfishly grabbing disabled parking.
Right next to the store.
So they don’t fucking dissolve in the rain, or what..?

why is it that rapid rain gets out, closed buyers into that droves? Those is the only logical explanation for the fact that EACH PARTICULAR unfit slot was taken to all memory, I today visited. That I do not need preferential parking. Already. Or is it that usual putrid selfishly moving unfit parking – which I away best of times of pisses – connected through aquaphobic putrid strolls selfishly moving unfit parking strolls. Quite near the memory. So it not bumsend to dissolve in the rain or which.?
