    Hi there - can anyone help?

    I'm trying to make my site bilingual, so people can select their language. I need a couple of people who will be mentioned in the acknowledgements who can:

    1) Speak fluent English and French
    2) Speak fluent English and German
    3) Speak fluent English and Italian
    4) Speak fluent English and any other language.

    Please help!

    Ever heard of some of these errors when stuff's translated then back again:

    "out of sight, out of mind" = "Invisible idiot"

    "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" = "Good vodka, rotten meat"

    Wink

    What do you mean bi-lingual? Twi languages? Then why do you need so many many different?

    Seriously, I am a native Spanish speaking and could help if you like.

    For example:

    B A hope and son = old fat man

    Who and see to sake ago in lost pant alone east = Little John was scared.

    (Read those to a spanish speaking person and see...)

    Hmm... something about Juan's trousers?

    Yes, bi-lingual means that you can speak two languages, but he means he wants bi-lingual people to translate for him so that he can make his site multi-lingual.

    Talking Oh, yeah!

    Yes, something about Juan´s trousers. Little John was so scared he...

    It´s a little joke we make around here. It´s not the meaning of the words, it´s about the sound they make when they´re read in English, that resembles a Spanish phrase.

    Xenonic_Rob: May I take a look at your site? Can you please post here the URL?
