h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Here is a useful site I found.

It works well if you find a website in a language you don't understand.

Of course, many hitchhikers fan will know the relevance of this site to the HHGG trilogy Arthur put the Babelfish in his brain as a translation device.

Having said that, yes it's very useful

I was well aware of the H2G2 link of the site name. It was most useful for my 'General Armstrong' entry as the Portuguese web page seemed to be the most reliable even though I can speak very little Spanish and only a smatting of Portuguese.

One of my favorite lines of the translation was;

>In the following day the British had disembarked to embed its deceased, what they had made with the which had honors, without however, despite the efforts of the Military Governor, to escape to some apupos of the American side.<

I had never thought of 'embedding' the deceased.

I only have one problem with the site...no latin!!!

Sorry MH, I only found the site, I didn't write it.

Must be an impressive piece of code though.
