Blog translator

During our Vietnam holidays a number of people commented that I write all the entries in Hungarian – and that they are unable to understand the text and can only see what’s happening based on the pictures. Since Google offers a translator, it was relatively simple to add translation capability via “flags” on the left hand side. I have only selected 6 languages, however I believe this is more than enough.

As everyone knows, none of the automatic translators are perfect – sometimes the translations are rather amusing, which I can illustrate with the above Hungarian blog entry that matches word for word with this entry written in English.

Despite the fact that the translator is not perfect, it still has some value – at least some amusement if nothing else :)

(in-fact, Google translate even managed to mess up this English entry by rearranging some words and by changing the upper-lower case of certain letters/words)
