why is it that babelfish doens't ever work with yahoo auctions any more?

Its an issue with Systran, the translation engine used by Babelfish. I have the latest version of the standard alone 'premium' Systran, and its rubbish for Yahoo JP: its buggy, frequently crashes, and half the time can't translate the pages. I don't know what they changed since the previous version -- which worked perfectly with Yahoo JP -- but now both the stand alone and Babelfish versions are crap.

I personally find Google the most useful. If you use Firefox, get the Translate extension, add it to your toolbar as a button (I sit it in between the URL and search areas) and simlpy click it to translate using Google (or click and select the language to use Babelfish). It also has some nice features like highlighting text, right clicking and having a translate option in the menu that appears.

Edit: Translate extension homepage: http://www.ctomer.com/index.php?cat=3

']hey,

I was wondering if one of you fellow sau japan members would be able to help out an sau -wa member :) im currently seraching for an safc II for my car; i have a buyer who can get me one (or bid on one) but they will charged me 10% on tottal cost  plus there buyer in japan will charge him 10% so i will also have to pay that. now i dont really mind but if the item goes over my max bid then im out (my max bid isnt very high as i have to factor in other cost inc shipping/buyer fee etc etc)

So whats my point..? Well would one of you kind japan sau members like be my buyer :P basic u bid on the item for me (i will you max bid) once it is won i send u western union money transfer (i think its the best and safest way) then u get the item sent to you then you sent it to me

im guessing not alot of people will be up for doing such a thing as it is a timely process but if someone is plz pm me

thankyou michael

i'm interested in buying this:

http://www.worldlingo.com/wl/translate?wl_...ion%2Fe45820870

but I'm guessing (from the crap translation) that it's sold on an exchange basis. can anyone confirm this?

The translator I recommend to people is just to select 'Langauge Tools' from Google. Works easily. You can bookmark the link and just add the Jap URL on the end once you get the hang of it.

As I said above, if you use Firefox just grab the translate extension: its uses google :D

Here's one I haven't figured out: is there a way to string together searches with the "and" / "or" operators: e.g. I want to search for "gtr OR gt-r"?

LW.

To search for GT-R or GTR I just use GT (case doesnt matter). It brings up some irrelevant stuff, but its not hard to figure out which ones are what you are after. If there is ever any items that you are searching for but cant find the Jap text for just send me an email (if its not on the Yahoo Links page off my site).

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
