Babelfish doesn't count. :-) And it's no good, anyway. ! -> Dobry den'! -> Good day! "" would mean a day which is good. pakled, which Cyrillic? Russian? Serbian? Macedonian? Bulgarian? :-) And my mind must be slipping. I forgot to mention the languages from around here: Macedonian and Slovene. I can read and understand them much more than I can speak, though. And if I concetrate very much, I can read bits of Polish and Czech, too. It's all Slavic languages, like my own Croatian, anyway. :-) I'm reminded of a former professor of mine. In comparison with him, danamo, as admirable as his achievements are, is a piker. The professor spoke 29 languages. Yup, twenty nine. Among other things, he could simultaneously translate octal numbers. But was he a pain...
