Terechu ,
Thank you for posting this article. I am very interested in reading it. I was unable to get a translation. Perhaps I am doing something wrong.
Is there a link within the article to translate it? When I "right click" I do not receive a choice of "Page Info" so I believe I am not doing something correctly. This article is especially interesting since we leave for Asturias this Friday for 12 days! The postings in the cuisine thread have made me so hungry, I can hardly wait! Thank you for any help or advice in translating this article.

I was not able to get Terechu's method to work either. The translate option simply isn't there. It may be an add-on feature.

You can translate any page with http://translate.google.com

The page you want to see is here.

I never use the "translate page into English" feature, but it is the second choice from the botton if you right click on the page to be translated. Be sure to click on the actual text and not on a graphic or ad. On the computer I just checked this out on, I run Windows 98SE and Internet Explorer 6.0. The translation has the usual characteristics and faults of machine translation, but it at least allows one to read the gist of the article.

Oops! Good point, Bob. I'm using FireFox instead of IE. I see that this translation feature is in my copy of IE 7.0, too.

Art, thank you for the link to the English version. I was able to receive the article. I did right click on the text with no luck. I have Windows XP. Betty
