	Suomi Internet Translation Full PM-box? Change here!

Due to the resent influx of Fins who are don't want to switch to a globally acceptable language, I request that the little internet translation box contains a suomi to english option.

I've looked for one, but can't find it. Babelfish doesn't cover it.

Finnish has a very complicated grammar... I doubt that any translator can get more then 10% of the soumithredi right...

Sorry, Grrr... Babelfish doesn't have a Finnish-English option available.
Perhaps I should make one. Here's
some examples from its wordlist:

paskanmarjat - steam engine
lantakasa - ice cream

Nice and reliable translations...

BTW, long live the Finnish ACS community!

Hell no! Then how can we conspire - I mean, discuss in peace when everybody can figure out a tenth of what we are talking?

of course we need one, 'cause my english has been going
worse since I have been able to speak finnish on apolyton.
after all, 'cause finish is second official languege of/on
apolyton, translation should be provided to those who
are unable to speak finnish.

Doh! I could have checked the location poll before I asked

There seem to be more Finns than Americans on Poly

No, that is just missshowing stats.

As all Finns have voted (they drive them hard to vote), and only a few of the Americans have voted the Americans are more. You can count on how good the stats are, and you wuill find it within the error margin.

Isn't that the other way around? Of course Poly needs a finnish-english translator

All this assumes the Fins actually know what they saying.

Yes, I've always wondered, why does Finnish need 17(!!!) cases?

If you are interested in pursuing this further and in a more definitive fahsion, I would recommend writing to the folks at AltaVista behind Babelfish in this regard.

This is the exact reason why I need this translator.

For the time being, can you stop talking Finnish . Try Dutch for a change.

Well its not exactly the enigma cipher key but its a start I suppose...
Next question is whether we actually want to know what they're saying about us ...

I suggest that you don't believe everything... Rasbelin is just trying to feed you a 'lantakasa'...

Just remember Ravagon that when the Finnish 'translate' for you, more often than not they will 'accidently' be giving you swearwords rather than words like ice-cream
