    I have written at least 5 times to tell them I don't speak Spanish but they refuse to write a letter in English! Thank you all, and is there anyway to get my late fees off considering I don't read spanish?

    George must have used one of those mechanical translators. You can most definitely see the difference now between the mechanical translator output and a translation by somebody who actually reads, writes and speaks the language.

    That's why I would never use one of the dumb things. In order to do a good translation, the translator must not only know the language but he must also be able to understand the intent of the writer. Quite often, one has to be able to "read between the lines" to determine the intent of the writer and then be able to put it into the words that a native speaker would use in the language one is translating into. No mechanical device can do that as George's mechanical translation proves beyond any shadow of a doubt.

    I can translate fluently between 8 different languages and do it efficiently and rapidly.

    Great Job Bill. Just one thing I think you meant to write "adecuate".

    I could not have done it better myself.

    Something like that. Probably that was because I had been up and in front of the computer for about 16 hours straight at that point. Strange I didn't miss more words than that
