I use a translator often between English and French and between English and Italian. Lucky I know enough of each that I know when it is wrong and I try to say things in a different way. When you get Babel to translate a page it's hilarious as it's often a mixture of the original language and the new one. It just seems to give up so often. Interesting post Vijay.

Need to be careful as we make new friends in different countries and different cultures, so we don't unintentionally offend. So happy to have "met" you. Interesting post, Vijay.
