Hi les you can translate this by using a thing called google translator once you have downloaded it, it automatically asks you if you want to translate the page then you can make it so it always translates any page you want. ;D ;)

Its always been a great blog showing all the cars that Donalds father Claud took to Retromobile last month. An absolute delight to see in the flesh!

Totally agree with you, Bob. Fantastic page. It took me an hour to watch it all, but it was'nt time wasting. I love the Avolette restoration

I have seen it before after someone else posted it here 1 or 2 years ago, but well worth another look. Lots of interesting cars scooters and restoration work. I also like the Dyna Panhard in one photo, it just looks sooooooooo French!

To translate (almost) any site, go to http://translate.google.com/#. Paste (or type) the website address (i.e http://donald.over-blog.com/ ) into the box then use the tabs below to set the language you're translating from (or let google guess by setting "Detect language" and to, and you'll be able to read the majority of the page in english or any language of your choosing from the list.
 The page translator won't work on links or images (e.g a photo of a magazine article), but you can type in the foreign text yourself and get it to translate in the same way.

Japanese still has a way to go though, the description on this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irJVzDjVpFw comes out as

Unfortunately google haven't got the translator for gobbledegook sorted yet, but according to today's Times they'll be releasing a mobile phone in a few years which will provide an instant vocal translation - just like Star Trek.

I think the original Babel Fish in the Hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy is the best translator. It seems odd to me that Esperanto never caught on... if all countries had taught it a a 2nd language then most people around the world would be able to communicate. I found myself and my products mentioned on an Icelandic Drum Forum and figured out how to get a google translation on it, there was a fair bit of gobblegook there!
