No, but you can't just upload the text & have it translated into
another language.

Details ..... B-)


Actually..Babblefish and others are doing that right now. Upload the
book and it will translate it into another language.

There are some occasional....errors.... in translation however......


I was talking about a paper book being uploaded & translated. I know
babblefish is poor quality, but you could get the gist of a translated
book.

Babblefish, or Google translates, give you the gist of a work. But
if you want to read something with nuances, "idioms" or the like - it
might not be so good. "The Vodka is strong but the meat is rotten".
etc.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.
