    Not sure where to put this, but mods can put it where they like.
    How difficult is it to have ppl type in their first language and for it to appear on the forum in English. A bit like a interpretation service or convert it like Google. Just thought I would ask as it appears we have fans in Argentina who want to take part. Is it Spanish they speak in Argentina?

    Yes they do.

    But even if it’s possible it’s pointless doing, as judging by their posts their English is better than plenty on here already. I’m sure they’ll get by.

    The problem is have you ever taken a proper look at something like Google Translate? It generally does an ok job, enough for you to get the just but its fairly broken English

    take this tweet



    Google translates it as

    Free kick for Cambridge in a place that can create danger to O'Donnell's goal

    Or this one



    McCartan had the first but a great reaction from Burton prevented the fall of his bow ...


    We are a long way off imho machines being as good as a human with even just basic conversational skills in a language
