As a service to our numerous overseas readers...

Noticing that I have a fair number of readers from overseas, not all of whom are deployed US military types, I've added the Babelfish translation button over on the right. The German's pretty good, as far as I can tell the French, Spanish and Italian works pretty well. The Chinese and Japanese, well, I have absolutely no idea how well they work! I do use words and colloquialisms that it can't handle, but it's not bad at all. I don't have a japanese character set loaded, nor a Hangul (sp?) for the Korean. The Chinese has nice characters, though for all I know the text is only questioning my character...

Since I haven't had any visitors from China, who knows? But I have had visitors from Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, so maybe they can tell me.

Now to figure out how to make it work for the archives!
