I need your help in order to find a specific website I can't remember. I think it has been
posted on this forum before. This site offered a bunch of bilingual dictionaries that were created using some statistical algorithm. I think they used parallel bible translations and Wikipedia sites for that. Does anybody know what I mean and remember the link? I can't seem to find/google it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, not the site I had in mind, but useful nontheless. I still hope someone knowns the site I was talking about. If I remember correctly it was on a Polish domain and had a very '90s design. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I would say that they could be quite dangerous. I remember a mail someone got obviously translated
automatically that read, in Swedish: Käre herr/bordellmamma That is in English, dear sir/bordello mother Seems like some languages formal adress for women can mean something totally different in another context. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

That language would be English. A formal address in English would be "Dear Sir/Madam."
However the word "madam" can also be used to refer to a woman who manages a brothel. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
