To translate with Google Translate, you'll need an electronic document, and that can be very difficult to obtain if you are working on a novel, as you don't see electronic copies of novels circulating as that would raise concerns of piracy. So in order to get an electronic copy, I purchased a Kindle version of the book from Amazon, I downloaded the Kindle App both to my iPod and my computer on the Windows side. When Amazon finally released Kindle App for Mac, I became one of the first to download that as well, therefore I got Amazon Kindle application everywhere. The beauty about the Kindle App is that your reading progress is synched with their WhisperSync functionality. Therefore no matter which device you use, your book will be turned to the same page through this automatic synching process. Then I did something slightly crazy: I did a screen capture of every page on the Kindle reader (zoomed to the appropriate size so that a scanning software can decipher it with not too many errors). Then I used a scanning software to scan the captured screenshots into text. Then I edited it into readable text, spell-checked and all that. Then I saved it as a text file, and uploaded it to Google Translate. Then I bought myself a cup of coffee at Starbucks and I sighed a long sigh and I started to toil away. To prove what Google Translation does, here is the translation of this post from Google Translate. Why dating a cunning linguist is bound to be a hit: 1. We work with our mouth all day long 2.

Since I get a ridiculous amount of NON personal email, one day an idea swept through my mind: how can I actually USE it to help others? Well my dear friends, prepare to be. Initially I wrote a series of statements with every junk email I received. During the process I realized that my 'junk mail' fell into different categories. Each one so unique to their universal intended purpose: make you feel like you were born yesterday. Barnum!) Here, then, is my (drumroll please!): Mission: (ta-daaaaa!) Use emails that I receive: copied & pasted exactly as they are (fresh out of my inbox). Can you smell it? Define their 'tactic' (category): not an easy task, most of them are rehashed, rinsed and repeated. PUBLISH and EXPOSE them so others can (hopefully) see that someone else also thought: 'YES! I KNEW something was wrong with this!!!' 'So you mean, this ain't real?' That's the same message 'they' sent ONLY to me'!!!' 'So 'secret' that someone else already knows about it?' .by now you get the idea. In addition to the mission, my goals will also include: my sense of humor since it helps me deal with the insulting audacity these emails keep showing up in my inbox. Grammar jewels that are just. They sometimes leave me speechless. Ironically enough. Resources with online links (the REAL WORKING ONES of couse!) to assist any victims your voice! We are all in this together.and I welcome your constructive feedback. PLUS this comes with an ADDED BONUS: Should this labor of love become something bigger (and it will!). YOU will be part of this fun adventure and a recognized collaborator! This is my start. I have lots to gather, collect, dust, buff, shine and hang out to dry so others won't be.
