Have you noticed?

In the left hand sidebar of my blog is a new item, ‘Translate my blog’. It does what it says on the tin i.e. it produces a Google translation of my blog into whatever language you choose from the drop down list.

Don’t expect a perfect translation though – this is more or less a literal translation from my style of English and as many of you will know some phrases just don’t translate well. Let’s try ‘a pig in a poke’ for example which most of my English readers will understand well enough. Do any of my Spanish readers understand "a ciegas"? Ciegas comes from the verb to blind so really the phrase makes no sense at all.

I’ll try and keep my posts simple but I can’t promise it will always work!
