I agree Bestat - and I liked that all the translators were native-speakers. That makes a big difference - especially when you haven't got a clue about the language. You need to trust the program you're working with to get it right. Believe me, I've USED Babelfish and other programs in the past and the results were HILARIOUS in the translation. lol Fortunately I have a few German-speaking friends who were very helpful in that area and stopped me before I insulted the entire German-speaking world with my screwed up text.

Like any program - the conversions will also depend upon your traffic and how you sell the program. I would love to hear from someone else who has used SexMoney - I know Druid isn't the only one. Foreign/International traffic is a hugely untapped resource for US/Canadian webmasters - the seminar on it @ Internext was very eye-opening and the speakers gave a lot of great tips, insider information about how to start working in this area and most all were available for asking more in-depth questions after the show. The audience-base across the pond is growing by leaps and bounds - almost like our Gold-Rush days in the 90's. Hopefully Internext will have another seminar/workshop on this topic at a future show.

I think we're going to see much more of these foreign language-based and database-driven proggies like this - and I think it's about time. What a great opportunity for N. American webmasters to start tapping this virtually untapped resource!
