UMSF translate, improving on google Options

[ngunn]

Clearly we have members here who can translate to English from Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, French, Irish, Chinese, American etc. They all have subject knowledge too. Is it worth setting up a translation service here indepenent of google?

i know that googletranslate is not perfect

Mozilla's "seamonkey" has a nice tool in the menu to use it fo the page

but for a lot of the Romanian and Czech sites i read it works fairly well
For Chinese webpages ???
googletranslate keeps kicking me out saying the sites are spam ( i am guessing something do the "the great firewall" and google just not mixing well)

French and German sites work well
