heres an idea for people translationg from their fluent language to english.
once you have your translation, paste your sentences into Microsoft Word.
Then do all the grammar corrections, and then paste it into .map. this will help us understand what your saying better. if you dont have microsoft word, you can go to http://www.openoffice.com and download they're program, it does the same thing.

so, they make their native language post, copy it to word, grammer it, and post? i'm kinda lost... at first i thought that link was the translator but no....

There's a plugin for Word called WordLingo that works good as well!

Btw, nice sig kai0ty!

First I thought you meant there are 1010 kinds of people but then you really meant 10 kinds of people. You could fool someone by saying you won 110010 dollars when you really only won 50...

no lizard. u got to a translator and make it english. sometimes the grammar is bad in the english translation, so put it in word to fix that. i can link to a translator that works very very very good, if u want that too.

Like this:

Hi I am 83 years old and I love this place.

The (machine/literal) spanish translation:

Hola soy 83 a?os de viejo y amo este lugar.

But that is wrong. It should be:

Hola tengo 83 a?os y me encanta este lugar.

Now if you translatate back to ingles...

Hello I have 83 years and I love this place.

As you can see the spanish grammar is a bit different, the problem with machine/literal translations...
