Hey all...
I was looking at "MY SKINS" and noticed one had a lot of referals, so I went to look at them and there are 8 from this one site.
I went to that site and lo and behold there is my GreenEye_CPU Monitor for DekstopX
http://romanda.wincustomize.com/viewskin.aspx?skinid=289&libid=34&comments=1&SID=4243&UID=789112
Does anyone know what they are saying on this page?
http://www.ivanhoejupiler.be/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=108932
Maybe they are just saying how GREAT it is.. who knows.. I tried to send this thru Google to see if it can be translated. It might not even been Greman.. I have no idea..
Any help would be great!!

After looking at the .be I think i found that its not German..
Root-Zone Whois Information shows:
.bd - Bangladesh
Ok so thats why I cant get a translation LOL
Bangladesh : Language
The official language is Bangla, sometimes called Bengali. It is the first language of more than 98 percent of the population. It is written in its own script, derived from that of Sanskrit. Urdu is the language of several hundred thousand people, many of whom emigrated from India in the late 1940s.
Anyone know how to speak "Bangla" or "Bengali"???

I just took a look at this page, it is a Belgian webpage. In Belgium they speak French and Dutch, and this Website is in Dutch, as c242 found out yet. 
One posted the link to your widget and the replyers thank for it. Everyone says that it's a very beautiful desktop enhancement. 
And then there is a link to your wincustomize.com-website - for more such great widgets ...

sorry to dissapoint you, but .BE stands for Belgium.
Jupiler is a great Belgium beer, you should try it once
And the language is indeed Dutch ( or flemish if you prefer ).
and the comments are all very positive about your creations

I had a couple of folks at MacThink http://www.macthink.net/ a Spanish site, post links to some of my docks....not directly to the downloads, but to the pages they're on here. I even joined the site to thank them for the downloads and nice comments. Someone at the site translated my comments for me

RomanDA - run it through freetranslation[dot]oom - free website translation - choose dutch to english - it not exact, but it's close (and sometimes funny).

Its just very strange to see your images or name, or something and then a bunch of words you cant read. Thanks so much for all the translations, I did try a few of the sites to translate the text and some of the translations are really good.

Understood C OZZY. I grew up in S.TX.(spanish, texmex,spanglish,casillian) - grand p's were german on one side and polish on the other. G-dad was a shrimper, hung out with polish, russian, portugese, etc. Just reading some of the pages using the site i mentioned cracks me up sometime. reminds me of some of the problems ads run into in other countries with translation: KFC had one in Mexico that was supposed to be: it takes a special man to make chicken exciting - translated it came out as excited. / the pepsi ad in japan (for a new generation) came out as wake up the dead, etc.
Meant no harm
