[FPSPACE] Russian language websites

[David Woods]

Folks,

Web sites that are in Russian can be viewed in English, using a language 
translator.  I like to use Babelfish:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn
The screen allows you to translate either a section of text or a whole 
web page.  In this case, just put in the URL, specify that you are going 
from Russian to your preferred language and let it crunch away.  The 
text is readable, but sometimes things do not get translated correctly.  
For example, Korolev sometimes comes out as Queens, or the cyrilic of 
the 7K-LOK: the 11F93 (11?93), will come out as: yyF9e.  These are minor 
annoyances that you can easily work around by comparing the input with 
the output.  These translators do seem to have a finite text size that 
they can work with, after which, the remainder of the original text is 
simply attached, to make it complete.  Therefore, you may have to do an 
article in sections if it is too large.

    I can't connect to www.musabayev.com... Do I have a navigator
    problem, or is
    it the website which is HS ?

The .com address seems has been offline/not renewed for a few months... www.musabayev.ru still works, though 
(but is in Russian).
