COLOUR SUPPLEMENT - TALKING FURRIN

We at Rocket FM are accustomed to refreshing parts of the world that other radios do not reach.

We feel that another of our excellent and useful services will be to offer a translation facility to visitors to this site.

We cannot, however, give translations for all the world's languages (having neither the brainpower nor the application to our textbooks). Rather than show you the text in the actual languages, however, we have decided to show you the text in the idiomata of those languages - i.e. translated in various languages and then back to English via the excellent Babelfish.

The paragraph which we have subjected to this tortuous process reads as follows:

"Rocket FM Lewes is brought to Lewes and the surrounding region once a year by the East Sussex Radio Society, a collection of enthusiasts based in the local area. Our mission is to bring you community radio, to entertain you and to inform you."

The results:
