  • Suomi Internet Translation

    Due to the resent influx of Fins who are don't want to switch to a globally acceptable language, I request that the little internet translation box contains a suomi to english option.

    I've looked for one, but can't find it. Babelfish doesn't cover it.

      Finnish has a very complicated grammar... I doubt that any translator can get more then 10% of the soumithredi right...

        Sorry, Grrr... Babelfish doesn't have a Finnish-English option available.
        Perhaps I should make one. Here's
        some examples from its wordlist:

        paskanmarjat - steam engine
        lantakasa - ice cream

        Nice and reliable translations...

        BTW, long live the Finnish ACS community!

          Hell no! Then how can we conspire - I mean, discuss in peace when everybody can figure out a tenth of what we are talking?
          Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!

            of course we need one, 'cause my english has been going
            worse since I have been able to speak finnish on apolyton.
            after all, 'cause finish is second official languege of/on
            apolyton, translation should be provided to those who
            are unable to speak finnish.

                Doh! I could have checked the location poll before I asked

                There seem to be more Finns than Americans on Poly

                  No, that is just missshowing stats.

                  As all Finns have voted (they drive them hard to vote), and only a few of the Americans have voted the Americans are more. You can count on how good the stats are, and you wuill find it within the error margin.

                        Isn't that the other way around? Of course Poly needs a finnish-english translator
                        I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                          All this assumes the Fins actually know what they saying.
                          Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

                          Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

                            Dastardly Finns! This was done on purpose, wasn't it?

                              Yes, I've always wondered, why does Finnish need 17(!!!) cases?
