Russell,

It's all in Russian. And for me, Google Translate's Russian->English=20
function works all the way through.

  Subject: [OT]:: What language is used for the 2nd part of this page? And=

why?


  this query has NO value at all apart from being of interest.
  The passage referenced below appears to be in Russian throughout BUT=20
something changes hald\f way through and straight 'Russian" translation=20
fails.
  What are the two languages?
  What is the change half way through?
  Why is this done?
  Why am I not working? (I was  - the quote search was part of "work" but=20
the translation followup isn't.


  For reasons irrelevant I searched for 'Lasciate ogni baldanza voi che=20
entrate" (Foster's "Celestial Omnibus" variant on Dante's "lasciate ogni=20
speranza voi che entrate"


  I found this page


              http://www.e-reading.org.ua/bookreader.php/60472/Nebesnyii_om=
nibus.html


  About the first half is translated without exceptions by Gaggol's=20
translate program using Russian,. Belarusian (interestingly, one 's"), &=20
Ukranian.


  And, at a venture, not by Lithuanian, Estonian, Slovak, Azerbaijani=20
(alpha), and a few more.

  Using "detect language" handles the lot OK.
  But 'mouse over' in the second half provides a box which talks about the=
=20
'original Russian text".



  Neither half translates exceptionally well into English - good enough=20
considering. Knowing what is being said would be a distinct. The second hal=
f=20
may perhaps be a worse translation, but maybe not.
