British Dialect Translator

Whoohoo is a website with a number of tranlators for different British dialects, with an emphasis on humour. Translators include Ali G, Cockney Ryming Slang, Irish, Scouse, Yorkhire Chicken Run, Brummie, Geordie, Scottie and Jolly Well Spoken. You can add words to the translator, put it on your web site, translate emails and get Ali G texts (if you really want them).

Here's the translation of a paragraph from a review paper I'm currently in the process of writing with some colleages.

Original Paragraph
There is a significant amount of discussion in the literature about information retrieval curricula, for the main disciplines of concern, library & information science and computer science. The themes in curricula have two focus points: what is to be studied (delivery) and what knowledge/skills the student will have when they have completed the required study (outcomes). Using these focus points we examine the general influence from pedagogy on IR curricula, the issue of interdisciplinarity, the role of professional and accrediting bodies in the development of IR curricula and the development of the subject in both main disciplines.
