Post Google Translator on JYA pages?
Er... not sure if this is the right place to post. Please correct me if this should be posted in another section...

I noticed that the Google Translator is not translating some JYA page successfully--not referring to the general search, but for a specific item. I've tried testing the translator in Mozilla and Internet Explorer, but I keep getting a generic page :x . This doesn't happen for every item, but a lot of toy links are affected. Has anyone else experienced this or found a work-around? :|

I've noticed this for the last 8-9 months myself Grace. Seems no matter what auction link I'm on it goes to the generic yahoo page and does not convert. My only work around has been to cut n paste the auction titles in translator.

This is exactly what I've found myself having to do as well. Kind of a pain, but in a way it's made me take more notice of the descriptions and what is in them.

Thank you everyone! :P I'll install Chrome and give it a try. I always try to understand the descriptions as best I can before placing a bid. Still, you never get a true feel for the condition of vintage figures until you're actually holding them in your hand.
