Two new Forum's started

[Sandman]

Hello all

I have started a new Forum link (http://www.uaebirding.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?24-Arabic-forum) in Arabic, for our users that prefers to use their native language.

Also, news from Ryan in Banyan Tree Al Wadi up in Ra's al-Khaimah will be presented here (http://www.uaebirding.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?23-News-from-Banyan-Tree-Al-Wadi)
Ryan is a former colleague of Greg at the DDCR, so we are expecting great things from him.
A Cuckoo was reported from the reserve in August (or was it July Ryan?)

Great news tommy....

Tommy, this is an excellent idea.

Let's hope it proves popular and widens our community and spreads the word.

Ahmed, Khalifa and co - you will still speak to us occasionally, won't you? ;-)

Tommy,

Is there software which automatically translates postings ? ;)

Chris.

Hi Chris. Not to my knowledge, but that is a GREAT idea to investigate further. I'm off flying to Singapore & Melbourne now, so any help here is appreciated.
Also, the dual-language letter you proposed is a STELLAR IDEA! Can you chaps work something out? Chris draft in English & Ahmed to translate? Run it by Oscar, our EBRC Chairman?

If you install Google Translate toolbar you get the
ability to select text then a right-click will translate
for you . Not perfect but it does a good job. I use it for
reading blogs I am subscribed too. Wouldn't use it for a formal
letter though !!
