What happened to the third computer translator ?

I see there are now only two computer translators on SD whereas until recently there used to be three. What's happened to the other one ?

The computer translators fascinate me. I sometimes use them to 'parse' a Spanish concoction of mine into English to see if what I'm trying in Spanish matches the English translation they produce . When there were three, sometimes two would translate it as gobbledygook whereas the other would render an accurate translation (the 'minority report' for those of you familiar with the writing of Philip K Dick).

But now there are only two, I fear I may struggle to find solace in their silicon-chip mana.

I would do the same mate , but did find that the bottom one was usually useless , the middle one the best , I have found that when someone that is expert at both languages writes a paragraph I can use the translator and it comes out perfectly. - ray76, Jan 7, 2015
Ah, the useless one... That was probably the one that agreed with me most often, then... ;-) - Faldaesque, Jan 7, 2015
We had a member named "Lazarus" and whatever he wrote in English was word perfect in the electronic translator , he was , and I do not doubt still is a Spanish native. - ray76, Jan 7, 2015
But what has happened to the" third ma n" I do not know , but it has disappeared before and popped up again unannounced , but nevertheless welcomed back. - ray76, Jan 7, 2015
Like 'Lazarus' himself, then... - Faldaesque, Jan 7, 2015
Indeed , he is a genius incidentally we lost a mountain when he left - ray76, Jan 7, 2015
Best thing to do, send it through feedback. Only they would really know. - rac1, Jan 7, 2015

Yes, I have the same question. It has been absent for over a week, maybe more.

I've only been able to find one. ¿Dónde está el otro? - Daniela2041, Jan 8, 2015
