Anyone read Finnish?

Virgo/0.7

[keyplyr]

Can't find a translation tool that supports Finish. Would like to know what Virgo is and why it's crawling webpages:

[virgo.tiedonhaku.fi ]

There is a Virgo webpage reader for the blind, but I'm not sure this is what it is since a webpage written in English is not offered by this site.

From logs:

195.238.206.*** - - [19/Sep/2005:04:17:48 -0700] "GET /page.html HTTP/1.1" 200 2759 "-" "Virgo/0.7 (-; [virgo.tiedonhaku.fi ] n/a)"

Tried to correct spelling typo to "Finnish" but I guess the post got hung-up with authorization and I wasn't allowed to edit. No offense to anyone from Finland.

This translator offers some very unique languages, one of which is Finnish:

[worldlanguage.com...]

Thanks Wilderness, this appears like a handy resource however when I enter the URL, highlight Finnish to English, then click Translate I am sent to a spammy page filled with translation software products for sale. Tried several times.

You have a pop-up blocker?

from their page!

"Any text or web page that is translated will appear in a new window"

[keyplyr]

You have a pop-up blocker?

Well... yeah LOL.

Tried Opera, Firefox and IE. Yeah there is a pop-up, that's the sales page. Nothing is being translated for me.

Anyway, no biggie. Just wanted to know what it said on [virgo.tiedonhaku.fi...] since they crawled a good portion of my site. Info on the UA "Virgo" mostly refers to a text reader for the sight impaired, so I guess that's it. Thanks again.

i tried
[yucca.de...]
but it doesn't translate that page correctly for me?! on the left i see "data unpublished".

here is the translation of the url-name:
tiedonhaku = curiosity

this virgo has nothing in common with the screenreader, i think. the current reader version seems to be 1.22!

do you trust any bot coming from a site named "curiosity"?

[thetrasher]

tiedonhaku = information retrieval

(see [ling.helsinki.fi...] )

i found that this crawler is not new - g:
