NP: Neat foreign language translation portal

[Glenn Scheper]

This portal lets you choose a language, and one of N
sites that translate that language, and paste in a
rather smallish text for free translation:

I found in when working on my WordsEx freeware.

I employed it to translate 150 most-used english words
through the most-often listed site into 28 languages.

I will use WordsEx to search for those words 3-up to
get lots of per-language pages, to improve my most
frequent word lists used for language guessing and
word valuation. For example, I dragged in about
7000 predominantly Croatian web pages in an hour or
two (I had 48 threads running) and while I have yet
to manually purge some mixed-language pages to make
a pure word list, Croatian already looks good:

// Language Group hr: Croatian: 15861208 Words, 769454 Unique, 40745 Ignored, 131071 Highest count.
