WTFAQ: How to use foreign trackers with ease

**Mayhem** · 10-08-2007, 01:05 PM

This is just a small tip for users that keep asking what language is this tracker in, or what does this mean in English.
It also may come in handy to fire63, because she does a great job with the open sign-ups thread and always finds trackers with different languages.

First you have to find out what language is the tracker in to translate it to English.
You can use either the online version by AppliedLanguage.com or Xerox or use the PC program called Polyglot 3000.
All you have to do is copy some words (preferably few lines from the FAQ of the tracker) and let the site/app identify the language.

Now that you know what language the tracker is you can search for the translation in one of these:
WordLingo
Altavista
AppliedLanguage
Translation-Guide
GoogleTranslate

There is also one website "to rule them all": Langenberg which uses meta search from the listed above in one place.

Hope this helps some of you.
