Thank God for online translators

The comment to the blog previous to this was in a foreign tongue. I shared it with my husband and son and they said it was possibly in Portuguese. The comment was flattering but earlier, I had already accessed the said site and while the comment sounded flattering and like it came from one person, when I checked it was an Internet site. So somehow, there appeared something wrong there. Something incongruous.

True enough, when I had the comment translated in babelfish as my son suggested, it was very complementary. We then went to the site to copy a portion of it for translation and true enough, it was an internet site offering DSL services or something.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts is a quote worth remembering at all times. I'll put the post here, the translation and what the site said and its translation.

The comment: Gostei muito desse post e seu blog é muito interessante, vou passar por aqui sempre =) Depois dá uma passada lá no meu site, que é sobre o CresceNet, espero que goste. O endereço dele é http://www.provedorcrescenet.com . Um abraço.
