I know exactly what you mean because I too am multi-lingual. The problem isn’t with Bulgarian or Chinese or whatever other language one tries to translate to and from English, the problem is that English is bass ackwards from every other language in the world.

Nevertheless, it does help.

Good idea! I wonder if Paraview/ Pocket/ Simon and Schuster would pay for the translation?

I have noticed nothing strange as a result of the release of the book, except the normal reviews where the person did not appear to have actually read most of my words. By this I mean that I was occasionally accused of withholding information that was actually in the text.

People like Stanton are good TV because they have a definite point of view which feeds into the belief system of the general public, and they don’t equivocate their statements. These opinions are also very amenable to sound bites. My viewpoint is not, although a simple discussion of the story behind Project Beta would be a lot easier, I suppose.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, dude!

I found it the first time. It does not translate Bulgarian into English, which if you read and understood my first comment, you will see that I was trying to do. It claims to do the translation both ways. I wanted to see if the Bulgarian version of my text translated back to English, and if it was funnier that way. Perhaps it just doesn’t work with my browser.

The message at the bottom also states that a machine translation from their page would only be a rough one, and it looks like Stiver is doing fine without it going from English to Bulgarian.

Well at least you can find the translator now! I had no problem entering some text (Hello, how are you?) and having it translate it to Bulgarian (Ало , как сте ти?). Since I cannot sit with you at your computer to see what you are doing right or wrong, it would be best if you asked a local computer nerd friend of yours (if you have one) to show you how to use it.

Let’s ask Stiver if he is able to use it, afterall, he is the one that really needs to be able to use it…

Дребна монета , мога ти употреба този форма?

I did go to that box and entered a paragraph from Stiver’s page. Still no result. Did I do something wrong?

The “translator” is the “box” in the middle of the page. It will translate text or URLs. Just do a search for the word “URL”.

I realize that Stiver already stated that he does the translations on his own, but I also realize that he stated that he is not a translator. He is just doing this as a public service…and personally knowing the difficulty in translating between languages, an online translator can save a tremendous of time and trouble.

Stiver already stated that he (?) does the translations himself. I guess they could be checked by that link you provided, though.

I tried the link and the “translate” button seems to take me to a page of advertisements for translation services, with no actual translated text from the Bulgarian Cyrillic passage entered.
