Given this thread and the other one where the original poster embarrassed
himself complaining about grammar at a website written by someone whose
first language is not English, here is a link to a really interesting
article on language translation. It contains, among lots of computing
stuff, a summary (pg 7) of a USA equipment firm's failed attempt to develop
