Surviving with Babel Fish
About a month ago I moved to France. As I don't know 'any' French it is not always easy to survive, as most websites are exclusively it French. So are most documents that are sent to me from all the different companies...
Today I tried to register for a web-account with American Express, and well, as always it was in French only (someone forgot the meaning of AM in AMEX...). But by cutting-and-pasting the sentences I did not understand into Babel Fish I actually managed to register successfully! (Some of the questions were kind of tricky so I would not have managed without it...)
Babel Fish in itself is not a revolution, and it has been around for quite a while, but well, today it saved the day!
