Re: Forums and NITAAI Veda in 13 Babelfish and 30 Google Languages
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
Dear Swamiji and devotees, please accept my humble obeisances.
These translation pages are very interesting since they translate literally word for word on the spot where the word occurs. In Dutch (my mother language) it becomes all gibberish and you cannot really understand what is being said. It is still wonderful though because the Holy Names Nityananda and Gauranga are unchanged so we should use these Holy Names Nityananda, Gauranga, Hare Krishna a lot in our articles. By the way Hare Krishna in Dutch is translated as Hazen Krishna which is translated back into English as 'Rabbit' Krishna. I guess this is the humor of modern technology when an impersonal translation takes place.
Aspiring to be the servant of the servants,
Hadai Nityananda dasa
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
