and respond.

Thanks again!
Well, since Google is taking over the earth, they also have a page where
you can translate text. Appropriately, it's at translate.google.com.
Enter your text and select the languages. I don't know how well it works,
so I'd include an explanation about the machine-generated translation in
the message. When you get a reply, just run it back again.

I also tried the earlier full page translation that you mentioned and also
this cut and paste method, as I had not previoulsy been aware of the google
translation features. Both seem to work amazingly well. Not great
litterature, nor the salvation of either language from the ravages of
careless "street" usage; but certainly fulfilling the objective of the
moment--especially if an explanation is included that an automated
translation was used.

Thanks for adding some very usefull knowledge!
