WebMon says Bonjour

Category : Technology/WebMonInFrench.txt

WebMon now speaks French. Joselyne Rochaud and Corentin Cras-Méneur have sent over another localisation :

It's in WebMon version 2.1.3, now out.

Thanks again, Josy and Corentin !

Yesterday, I managed to conduct a whole e-mail conversation completely in French with one Bernard Doret who doesn't speak English. What I did was to translate his messages in French into English using Babel Fish and I then got Babel Fish to translate back my reply into French. So I was going, Bonjour Bernard! It seemed to work well enough for us to have a discussion about DNS Enabler, but then it probably won't be good enough if he were to need deeper technical support.

One day, basic translation services, like the kind provided by Babel Fish (errors abound but you get enough of the drift), will simply be automated and built-in into the system. I'm quite sure of this.
