West Gardner - I am surprised that you cannot read this.

I can.

It says: "Shilty cannot read Swedish."

On a serious note - I think there used to be a 'translation' page via Google - you could put in the foreign language and get a loose translation into English. Haven't tried it for years. May be gone, or much more sophisticated than before.

Lord luv a duck!
I got the Rhododendron part.
I have no idea what the rest of it says but it looks serious to me.

Google did a translation of sorts.. now we know...

Hi
Have an old pair of Rhododendron as we moved fi �� r ye �� � �� degrees r
Then. They have been di �� compatible but will good tillv� �� xt nedifr� �� n Can we si �� ga remove old branches though it made âÂÂâÂÂsome of the pi �� �� we clean?

First, I didn't know there was a Swedish Board; second, West Gardener, why would you go there if you can't read Swedish? (Please know I'm not trying to be rude or clever--just curious!)

I used to live in Sweden and I do speak and read swedish so that is not the issue I venting about, it was the �� r ye �� � �� character , just about every post had these characters.
I read foreign newspapers, blogs, boards etc...but
GW is the only one that gives me trouble.

Thanks for taking the time to translate, shilty.

I'm interested in planting a couple of rhodies. I've seen them in Scandinavia,(cold country) in Gwinnett County, GA (hot and humid) Northen CA, (cool).

Janis, "Lord luv a duck! LOL,

West, I've had that trouble with Spanish, where the accent marks, tildes and such, print out as crazy random symbols instead -- who knows why?

BTW, the characters have followed me into the GP. Sigh.
petaloid, I'm not sure why this is happening here at GW, but I suspect that they need some software that can "handle" foreign languages.
