The site has now moved to a newer server with better support for different scripts. I am trying to get a GOOD translation tool working for the site. It will probably take some time to perfect it. It uses Google's translation service which stores the translated pages for a certain amount of time. The problem with the stored pages is that if there is an error, even if I correct it, it will not be noticed until Google updates the saved version of that page. I think I made some improvements tonight, but I really won't be able to know for sure until the old pages stored in Google's database are updated also. For this reason, it may take several months before I can improve the translator to where I am satisfied with its results. If you are a non-English speaker please be patient. I want this to work just as bad as you do. If at any time during a translation it becomes "garbage" please just reenter "www.kids-online.net" in the address bar and return to the site. Refreshing or reloading the page doesn't seem to help. It is also best to only translate one time and not to try to switch languages. It is embarrassing for me to have a faulty translator on Kids Online, but I want to extend the site to as many kids as possible. I have intentions of adding several more languages to the translator in due time, but I want to get the current one working much better first.

I normally do not advertise on Kids Online, but I am not receiving any money for doing this. I also think it is something that may be of interest to many of you. Besides, reading is a good thing and books aren't free. :))
