Have you tried Google Language Tools? You can translate the whole web page at once.

It's not a perfect translation but it will give you a good idea what it says.

Hmm... let's see... something like...



<< <i>You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. >>



Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

<< You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. >>

Now, that reminds me of a 1985 to London. There were many school buses of French kids touring England. All the little boys were holding the most insulting obscene signs up to the windows.

I'd say that's pretty certain.

Here's the translated page, hopefully.

PS- I noticed the site had an English language tab you could click, but it apparently only changed the category headings and such, and didn't translate the descriptions. Had to get "determined" and use the Google Language Tools mentioned by the member of that name (thanks for the tip- I had clicked on some Google translations before but it was nice to see the homepage for the Language Tools).

Oh, yeah- speaking of Monty Python and things in a similar comedic vein, I noticed the Google Language Tools offer the otpion of setting "Bork! Bork! Bork!" (Muppet Swedish Chef) or "Pirate" as your interface language. Both could be useful indeed. I do believe I'll set the Google preferences on the computer at work to "Pirate", just fer giggles.
