That's what llenguavalencianasi's website claims to do (http://www.llenguavalencianasi.com/buscar_ang.htm).

You should all be getting worried. It's translating automatically, so nobody needs to bother paying translators and we'll all be out of jobs.

Translate the world, it says on the site. Jun 9, 2005

It flunked on "Baubeschreibung"

Did no better on "feet".
Didn't know "break" either.
It managed "hand" (which is apparently "ma" in Valencian).
The only languages it offers are English and "Valencian".

The site claims to have a massive 485 words.
Wow, I'm trembling in my boots.

Here are all the languages it does, with the number of words it has Jun 9, 2005

http://www.llenguavalencianasi.com/buscar_00.htm

According to them I can speak 7 languages: English, French, Catalan, Spanish, Occitan..... and Valencian and Balearic. I wonder whether I can also count American, Canadian, Australian, Belgian, Roussellonese, Argentinian, Uruguayan, Andalusian and several other languages in which I can communicate perfectly well?
