    I would like to incorporate some "control" which would translate a give webpage into another language, such as Spanish. This might open a whole new frontier for Wildcat!

    Any ideas? Any software out there that one can "hook into" to do this job?

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    Wayne

    Off hand, today, I can only see proxy like device doing this for you.

    I don't know if that is available, but recently I have been involved in discussions about a new IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard proposal called OPES (Open Pluggable Edge Services) which in theory will
    allow for concepts like you want. In fact, an web site translation example
    is used as a potential OPES callout device for web sites to plug into. But
    I think this is still in the research stage, see http://www.ietf-opes.org
    if you interesting.
