Re: August 17

Oh, another moment of greatness from [personal profile] cahn: I had halfheartedly mentioned trying to write an interface with Google translate, but when I realized it would cost money and be slightly complicated to write, I shrugged and put it to the side.

Only when cahn offered to commission a Wilhelmine correspondence translation, did I actually dig into what it would take, discover the free trial1, and actually produce the necessary algorithms! Suhm would not be ranked among the boyfriends without those algorithms, I would not be learning German (and cahn's German learning would be more impaired), and I don't believe Selena would have the all-important Heinrich-Fritz correspondence (unless you've since found it in German? I mean, beyond Ziebura's all-important citations.).

See, cahn? You make the awesomeness possible!

1 Which ends in January, after which the translation itself will cost money, above the book costs and the Mildred-labor costs if the translation isn't intended for me. Otoh, I accept Fritzian books as a currency, so everyone benefits. :)
