Catemaco translations

The latest local chief of tourism has promised to provide English lessons to the tourism providers in Catemaco.

So, presumably in the future, instead of "Lancha, Lancha", you will be hearing "Boat, Boat" while being accosted by hundreds of vagrants along the Laguna Catemaco shore.

Meanwhile GOOGLE has apparently stepped up to the challenge to provide functional Spanish to English translations, by opening a possibility to correct the GOOGLE translation via a button available on the right of the GOOGLE screen saying "Suggest a better translation".

The message appears after having made a translation on the far bottom right of the screen.

This is a wonderful step in the right direction of improving the current atrocious Spanish to English and viceversa translations.
