Languages, languages, . . .
[07:33 pm]
Babylon is the translation software I cannot live without. I often have to resort to using it when I come across a difficult word in English. Babylon comes to help in those situations when I am in need of the right word in Italian, which is the language I am using to communicate with my better half.
Today, I was amazed with the number of different translations that the Croatian language is offering for the word "parasite". Fourteen! I must admit not knowing some of them. I bet, the translator had a personal problem with a parasite!
And yes, I am using both, Serbian and Croatian dictionary. Bosnian and Montenegrin are not available yet! Yes, there are differences, but I am still one of those few who think that all these four languages could be one.
