What's eta? / Shto that?
For anyone who has ever used an online translator, you should really check out this very amusing article by Julian Dibble ----> After Babelfish: Random acts of senseless beauty? Taking the wonderful translation machine out for a spin.
I've been making a dollar or two translating as well. Really all I do is make up the difference between Bablefish and actual English syntax. A wonderful and completely hilarious job. :) I've read the first few paragraphs of this article like three times cause it's so funny for someone who works with this stuff a lot.
If you've never used the ol' Babelfish (www.altavista.com/babelfish/), try for a quick test drive... you'll love it, I promise ;)
If this WebLog would allow me to post Russian characters in here I would have given you a neat little phrase to translate, but, alas, the limits of blogger technology confront us.
