Babelfish Adds Canadian And American To Translation List But now, with the addition of the Canadian/American translations, millions of North Americans will be able to exchange ideas, culture, and foreign concepts.
"I like to visit Canadian websites, like Canada.com and Canoe.ca, but until recently I couldn't understand the Canadian language well enough to be able to read the content," said Bob Rae from Ohio, who reads and writes fluently in American. "I could pick out the odd word or phrase that sounded American--enough to guess at the subject matter, and of course I looked at the pictures. Now, I just run the sites through Babelfish, and it translates foreign terms such as 'prime minister', 'free healthcare', and 'lacrosse' into words I can understand."
