+StarBrand Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It gives semi-terrible but useable translations: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Try to stay away from multies and puzzle caches and stick with the basic traditional caches that don't have a lot of details to follow to find the cache, (e.g. approach, parking requirements, park hours, etc.) I'd also look for a local cacher who speaks my language and ask them for recommendations.

knowschad Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 When going to different countries you need to translate there language into yours. Isn't that usually the case, caching or not? Anyway... Google also offers translation tools. See the "Language Tools" link to the right of where you enter the text to search for. While I haven't tried it myself (I avoid 3rd party browser toolbars) Google's toolbar is also supposed to add easy translation facilities. Give it a try! Quote Link to comment
+Taoiseach Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I strongly recommend just learning the local language... Quote Link to comment
+Danbike_Lizbike Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 What a novel suggestion. Wonder how many people will heed your suggestion. Merci, Danke, Thank You I strongly recommend just learning the local language... Quote Link to comment
+Torbelly Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Google translate is the best free translator I've tried. Still not great, but the best of a bad lot. Here in Denmark most of the pages for at least the traditional caches are written in Danish and English. Quote Link to comment
+agentmancuso Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I strongly recommend just learning the local language... Yup. Or just buy a dictionary. Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Try contacting locals (through these forums), most likely you will find someone able to help you. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Try contacting locals (through these forums), most likely you will find someone able to help you. Ayep. Nothing like a local to point you to some choice caches to search for. Quote Link to comment
