It will help others not English<BR/>speak, or at least people who are not English as mother tongue (a kind rough way of implementation, it is not ..?).. In any case, the matter much more interesting for bloggers is not English can be read in their papers own language. I can no longer talk about how amazing it is. Look at the right side list .. up for the tool!

I think the gadget sort of works if lots of plant names are in the post, but then we can usually pick those up anyway. The gadget probably also works reasonably well with short, well-formed sentences, none of this write-as-you-think approach. <BR/>Anyways, I'm sure it works sometimes, but it's just as likely to cause great confusion. Again, sorry to bring the bad news.

It seems that garden jargon just doesn't fit into their literal translations, but we can sort of make some sense from it.

We were spoiled by the Dutch when we lived in Holland .. most of who we met spoke at least 3 to 4 other languages .. it was hard to pick up much Dutch because they were so accommodating.
