Aaargh!

I am probably overly moved by my emotions right now, but I am of the opinion that the only thing worse than having Google return only two hits for a term one is seeking to translate (and to have one of those hits link to a web page in a related language), is to have Google return only one hit, which links to a copy of the document one is translating.

Cheers...

Hahaha. Same thing happens all the time while reading Les Miserables in French. Granted, google never gives out just the one result, but A LOT of sites quote that book right back at you as the only example of the usage of the phrases you are reseaching.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cringe.

This brings back memories of the time I brought a question to the colleague who owned a specific feature, and he pointed me... right back to the document I had written as a general "HowTo". :O
