Hey Frank!
ReplyDeleteHope you've enjoyed the summer break so far, I certainly have!
Listen, I was just browsing around your blog (yes, after some time offline I started blogging again), and I noticed this great tool on your site, named "Google Translations"! This really looks like a very cool feature which would fit onto my blog as well! How did you incorporate it into your own site?
Thanks for helping me out, and I whish you all the best for the rest of your vacation!
Take it easy,
