This has been mentioned in the newsletter before. This does NOT work perfectly, but you can get a good idea of what the Web page is about... Have you ever been looking for information on one of your surnames and come across Web pages in a different language? It is frustrating because you don't know if you are missing out on important information that pertains to your family history. Here is an on-line translation tool that you can use to translate some of those pages. Be sure to bookmark (or, make a "Favorite") this Web page: **The "Babelfish Translation" tool at http://babel.altavista.com/ Go to this site right now and take a look. You can translate German, Italian, French, Spanish,Russian, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese into English... or, English into any of those languages. *You can "Translate a block of text" where you can enter up to 150 words. So you can copy and paste short segments of the text (words from a Web page or e-mail message). All you have to do is paste the text into the area (box on the screen), select how you want it translated (for example "German to English"), and click on the "Translate" button.
