Foreign Language Sites

[Gimpy]

Anyone know a good, sure quick and easy way of telling which language is which when you edit a foreign language site? Its hard to tellt eh diffrence between french and spanish, there really similar. And russian and polish are hard to tell the difference between too....

I like this tool:

But it doesn't recognize what trolls speak on Phobos.

But it helps with French vs. Spanish and Russian vs. Polish which is what I thought the question was about.

 

Actually I find those distinctions pretty easy (after all Russian uses a different alphabet - hmm was this a troll?).

 

The one I have difficulty with is Malay vs. Indonesian. Still working on that one myself...

Well, since this question is about editing a site, the best answer would be "For editors we have a compilation of those tools at http://dmoz.org/Test/Tools_for_Editors/Translation_Tools/Language_Guessing/ "
