Foreign language papers.greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
I've just been trying to make sense of Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport and Spain's El Pais. I speak neither language but hoped to see the words "Newcastle United" on the same line as some famous players. Sadly not this time. Anyway, I was wondering whether any of you could keep an eye on the European press. I'm sure there are a few linguists among you. Perhaps the likes of the papers I've tried may be more reliable than the UK press when it comes to transfers?

I am sure Gav will be your man for this one.I believe he is a cunning linguist.
At least I'm sure that is what he said.

Couldn't you just stick it through a translator like babelfish?http://babelfish.altavista.com/
There used to be at least one chap in Italy who'd do regular updates of what was in the Gazzetta....dunno if he's still about??

GusI think you may have misheard him. Perhaps his mouth was full at the time.
