[Edu-sig] Edusig auf Deutsch [in German] using Babelfish

[Paul D. Fernhout]

Bert-

Just for fun, here is a link through Babelfish for edusig auf Deutsch: :-)
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=en_de&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fmail.python.org%2fmailman%2flistinfo%2fedu-sig

See for example:
"[ Edu-Edu-sig ] Slashdot Artikel: Programmieren Zicklein Jedoch?"
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=en_de&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.python.org%2Fpipermail%2Fedu-sig%2F2006-April%2F006308.html

Or January's posts:

I'd be curious what a native German speaker had to say about the quality 
or usefulness of these automatic translations of edusig?
Useful? Confusing? Useless?
