Comment RSSCan You Understand The Words Coming Out Of My Blog?
28.07.08 # 19:10 # Blogs # 13 CommentsThere’s been an…occurrence happening around The Redneck lately that I feel that I ought to address. As you know we have that whole “do-follow” thing going on; so when you leave a comment it will link back to your own blog/website (if you know this then why am I bothering to bring it up, one might inquire). Now; I have covered the whole spam tofu thing before so I shall not mention it here. However, there is another concern that I have. Several times various people have left comments in the moderation queue and after checking the back-link to their site I have become concerned. They have blogs written in a foreign tongue.
Now I wish to state, for the record, absolutely none of the management or staff down here at The Redneck are prejudiced in any way whatsoever. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy a Blue Beaver Beer no matter what your race, creed or sexual preference might be (except paisley people, screw all paisley people). After all some of my best friends really, really like beavers but I would never judge them for it.
The only problem I have is that with a blog written in a foreign tongue, is that they could be saying anything and we would never know. They might be saying, “Let’s clear cut the Forests of Ubangme” or “The Redneck Bar and Grill Sucks” or worst of all, “Coors Light tastes better than Blue Beaver Beer“. I mean, seriously, we can’t risk the possibility that they might be spreading such terrible propaganda. So for anyone who has a foreign language blog/website who leaves a comment for us; thank-you very much for stopping by and I’m very sorry we can’t publish your comments.

How about using google translator? It’s not perfect, but it gives you a rough idea of what the website is about and whether it’s “Safe” to link or not
Hey guys, I never thought about this but you’re right. We sell custom-printed trade show displays, and sometimes we get customer designs that are in a foreign language, like Latvian. Now I realize that it could be our arch competitor Joe’s Display Shop ordering trade show displays that say “Joe’s Displays are better than Pinnacle Displays” in Latvian. The devious trickster. Next thing you know he’ll be buying a hundred, or a thousand of these trade show displays from us. But now we know better, and we’ll keep our eyes open. Joe won’t be pulling a fast one on us! ~ Steve (purveyor of paisley-free trade show display booths)
Coors Light will NEVER be as good as Blue Beaver!
Steve:
As luck would have it, I am of Latvian ancestry!
Tammy:
I agree. Coors Light is just water with beer in it.
Pinoy ha va! I am just enjoying your blog first time. Will be come back to make most happy. Do you be liking stuff - please be check out blog for most fun 8-track player for sale - HIGH QUALITY! Please be thanking you.
Tim,
I had no idea you had Latvian blood coursing through your veins. Ah ha! It’s good to know that when we suspect Joe’s Display Shop of ordering a Latvian language trade show display that denigrades us, we can have you translate it…

Old Joe won’t get away with a fast one now!

Canucklehead:
You just keep that 8 track in your pocket there.
Steve:
I never did learn more than a few words of Latvian, so I would need that translator myself to keep Joe at bay….
I don’t get the Latvian commenter dagnabit. Mine are all Arabic in nature. I’ve probably been cursed more times than I can imagine, but at least I can translate it.

Moderation - what the f ..? Oh, I get it.
As for google translator I’d recommend it not for translation but lot’s of fun giving when you read this crap. Ever more that drinking blue beaver
Why not just go to the Google Translate site and see what the sites are about? More comments, more readers can only be good for you.

Fair enough. Well, I personally make sure that visitors of my site understand what I’m talking about and some translator widget might just do the job.
