back to the books
I'm of course spending time trying to acquire the local language here, and it is a challenge considering I've never really applied myself to such learning. As my efforts are mostly self study, I occasionally consult Bablefish to conifrm if I'm heading in the right direction. Here is an example of how far i have to go...

AND HOW BABELFISH INTERPRETED IT.
Even when Japan it makes the palpus uninformed slowly being, fly it is today we would like to do
I noticed a few mistakes afterwards though. Inputting the kanji got results that actually had some resemblance to what I wanted to say.
After inputting the English sentence for translation, I got the real thang.
