Hi All,

Most of you probably already know this, but I certainly didn't
until today.

There is a site:

 http://babelfish.altavista.com/

that will translate many languages (including Japanese and Chinese) into
English.

Pretty useful for sites like the Renmei and Shogi equipment sites,
especially
if you want to order equipment or books directly from Japan and don't speak
or
read Japanese.

2 good ones to be translated are:

http://www.shogi.or.jp/
http://www.go-shogi.com/rando-top.htm

Anyway, if there are people out there like me, who hadn't seen this
before, it is pretty good. The translations are a bit hard to decipher
at times, but pretty usable.

Thanks,

Doug
