| This is my personal rant. Gardenweb and other languages.
Below is from the Swedish board. Sigh..... Hej Har ett par gamla Rhododendron som vi flyttade f�r n�gra �r sedan. De har blivit d�liga men det kommer bra tillv�xt nedifr�n. Kan vi s�ga bort de gamla grenarna fast det kommit en bit i p� v�ren? |

| 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... Translate |

| 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. |
