European Word Translator - Neatorama

“How do you say…” peppers every conversation when you’re trying to negotiate a different language. The European Word Translator fills in the blank, so to speak. This application uses Google Translate to give you your word in many European languages. Just enter a word (or two), and they will come up on the map. In the map above, the word is “cat.” There are some caveats:

Translations are generated by Google Translate. Some may be inaccurate or use non-European (e.g. Brazilian Portuguese) words.
Just one translation is provided for each word; watch out for words with multiple meanings!
The Google Translate API does not yet translate into all European languages.
* If Google Translate cannot find a translation, it simply shows the English word. This may be the case for the starred words on the map.

Still, it’s fun to explore, and may be useful for those studying the relationships between European languages. -via the Presurfer

Since moving to Europe and traveling a bit, I've found it fascinating to see the relationship between the different languages. I'm not a linguist; I'm sure they find it even more interesting.

Hey how freaky, take a fode of yourself in the mirror and see who is 'really' behind you.

Fem, does that website "know" that they are teenage girls. And really if you go into a jungle the residents of said jungle are most likely going to be dark skinned. That doesn't make it racist.

"And what better way to demonstrate said feature than by depicting dark-skinned jungle dwellers and teenage girls in their underwear?"

Yep, thats nikon ads for you. Check out the link that was posted above me if you don't get it.

People are really complaining about these ads? Seriously? I happen to think they are both pretty good ads, and not racist/sexist at all. (the one with the two girls and the guys behind them, could be deemed creepy, but I think its funny)

Geez. On second thought, why is that all ghosts are white? That's pretty racist.
