eLingo = Bankrupt

It seems EVERY dot com business is going under...the greg just let us know that eLingo, the site that I use to translate the info for ZD, is shutting down. This is a real disappointment, as eLingo was the best. It made Babelfish look like a college project. Hopefully someone will purchase the code and bring it back, unless eLingo would like to donate their code to ZD for the hundreds of translations we do. Now that I think about it, I'm sure the ZD staff was probably their biggest users. Update (at 3:45p): I think I should clarify that the translation services still work right now, but the site is definitely shutting down, as it says "We regret to inform you that as of 11/27/00 we have shut down our service.
