Google translate is great fun, but it does really poorly with Dutch - which is unfortunate, as my Daughter lives in the Netherlands.

Until the Academie Francais invent a completely new but purely French word for it, I guess that the average French bloke will say "Le Google Translate".

How fun to see a french word being closer to norwegian in some rare cases. The name of the subject at here would be "elektroteknikk".

Yes, but the Norwegians have two extra Ks. Think of all the points in Scrabble (assuming the US ENGLISH version of Scrabble is used).
