    Wow, that's well embarrassing for them. That's quite a statement from that translator.

    It's still live so they haven't found out yet. Silly G.

    Looking at their translation services website there's some well weird languages... https://services.google.com/tcbin/tc.py?cmd=status

    Klingon 98% done
    Frisian 92% done (where I'm from, only about 200,000 speak it approx)
    Borkborkbork 66% done (WTF?!)
    English (UK) 9% done ( :confused: )

    Doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm sure I can translate some of G's pages to UK English.

    THAT is funny stuff...

    Worthy of a blog entry I think.

    Thanks for pointing it out...
