Recently there was a problem with visitors not being able to comment on posts. We used a captcha-style validation plug-in to prevent bots from spamming our comment forms. It showed a warped image of a random string of numbers and letters and required that the commenter type that string in when submitting a comment. At some point that plug-in stopped functioning, and its creator no longer supports it. So we’re going to try a new method that doesn’t rely on captcha validation. Commenting is back up now.

Here at Sah and Aaron, we’re proud of our extensive global audience. To illustrate our commitment to our countless international readers, we’re unveiling a new site feature. Not long ago we met with the CEO of Google, and told him we would crush his puny company unless he created an automated translator for our site. A few weeks later we had our site translated into Spanish. “Good start. Now, do it for seven other languages,” we said. Once those were delivered we stepped off his neck. Then in a benevolent moment of “here’s a quarter, buy yourself something nice,” we allowed Google to share this technology with the public.

So here they are… full translations of our entire site:

• Spanish
• German
• French
• Italian
• Portuguese

The following will only work if your browser and OS support these specific languages (if not, you’ll see mostle question marks):

• Japanese
• Korean
• Chinese (Simplified)
