There is a good Spanish word “célula” for brain cells, cells in a table etc. (here’s where the MS error kills me!). There is another word “celda” for the monk’s or the prisoner’s cell. But that’s the only one microsoft uses its wisdom.

But Google translate is still very promising though. I like the fact that you can ‘train’ it. Makes it more trustworthy than even some of the software that you’d have to pay for.

The journalist mentionned that only one word (Nicolas Sarkozy) had the glitch.

But I see that they have “fixed” the glitch. Still, that was fun :-))))

Fortunately our Spanish speaking fellow encyclopedians can learn of the existence of Wikipedia by translating ‘Enciclopedia Libre Universal en Español’ into English.

You’re just a sockpuppet manipulated by the Wikimedia-Creative Commons-American Library Association conspiracy. ;-)
