The word translator is still translating English into Turkish for me but the page translator is not laoding - maybe it's just a google Sunday morning blip - it was working yesterday - I used it.

I have lost it as well - and lost Turkish Living Forum about a week ago. I spent ages trying to resolve it thinking it was my laptop but now I think it is "controlled". :-\

i dont think it will have been banned by the Turkish Goverment...normaly when the Turkish Goverment put a ban on a site an explanation comes up on your screen stating the Goverment order number for the reason to ban the site...on this nothing comes up..maybe just a glitch.

Well thank goodness for that it was translating English pages into English I thought I was going mad. Or that I had a virus on my computer.

Is that a complicated way of saying it is doing nothing?
