Many of us are familiar with web site translators. You type in the web site URL (address) and they translate your favorite web site into your native language. My favorite translators are the wacky ones. I've translated my favorite web sites into Redneck-Speak, Pig Latin, Large type, Backwards type, Doubled and Spanish. And I can do it anonymously. Here's how: Re-live the 3rd grade! Type in your favorite web site address and view it in Igpay Atinlay (Pig Latin) here: After you have translated your site into Pig Latin, you can listen to it here: If you need to mirror your life and see the sites backwards, go here: Another place that reverses text (but not by URL input) is: Reverse Text - The One The Only Double vision? Wanna view 2 web sites at the same time? Go here: Why not brush up on your French, Spanish, German, Italian, or Portuguese? You can mispronounce your way through your favorite web sites here: or I found a language translator that I think is better than the above two, but they don't translate whole URL's (addresses). You would have to use "cut and paste".Babylon translates expressions such as "make ends meet" and internet abbreviations such as "btw" (by the way), computer acronyms like "ftp" (file transfer protocol), medical terms such as "endoscopic surgery" and legal terms such as "arbitration clause." After you have translated your site into German, Mandarin, Spanish, French, or Italian, you can "listen" to it here: Like to live large? Tired of squinting? Here's a place that will increase the text size of any web site: Oh, this one is great fun! Here you can translate dry techno-babble into belly laughs! They'll translate any web site into 1 of 7 different slangs (hAcK3r, skinhead, smurf, Ozzie, pimp, Cockney, and Redneck). They have a few recommendations and show you the popular ones) Translate into random caps, ascii text, backwards, tron, inverter, or precaps: If you don't want a record of such zany viewing, or if you value your privacy, you can surf the net anonymously from this starting point:
