[Milton Mueller]

That's exactly the sort of thing I was worried about!
Gotta love the 'fish.

MM,

How funny do you want to be? In your "trilingual" text, Haut-parleurs =
altavoces = the sort of "speakers" you have on your stereo system, not human
beings who speak languages. 

Cheers,

Chris

Subject: [WSIS CS-Plenary] semi-serious question about multilingual emails

A question for the French and Spanish speakers: is a Babelfish translation
better than nothing? Or is it mainly good for a laugh?

Une question pour les haut-parleurs français et espagnols : une traduction
de Babelfish est-elle meilleure que rien ? Ou est-il principalement bon pour
un rire ?

Una pregunta para los altavoces franceses y españoles: ¿es una traducción de
Babelfish mejor que nada? ¿O es principalmente bueno para una risa?
