the world just got a little bit smaller
i don’t know why i haven’t tried this before now but flickr inspired me to check it out. i was looking at a flickr group in spanish but because my spanish is very limited (my favourite phrase: guardo mi pato en una cadena; translated: i keep my duck on a chain. not extremely useful) i thought i’d do a search for translation sites so i could understand the photo descriptions. i found this one first. probably not the best one out there but it is pretty good and works for me (although translation sites have a hard time with slang words and phrases). its kinda fun translating stuff from english to other languages and vice versa. now that i know these kind of sites exist it just opened up the web even more. the next time i come across a blog in french i don’t have to spend forever trying to translate it with the bits of not-very-useful-for-casual-conversation-french i remember from high school and elementary school.
