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:

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"

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 on the left i see "data unpublished".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"?

tiedonhaku = information retrieval

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

i found that this crawler is not new - g:

dec 9, 2004:
IP: 84.240.65.***
Browser: Virgo/0.5 (virgo@tiedonhaku.fi)

feb 15, 2005:
IP: 84.240.65.***
Browser: Virgo/0.7 (Nutch; [virgo.tiedonhaku.fi...] n/a)

84.240.65.*** is 84-240-65-***.dsl.maxinetti.fi

your "visitor" arrived via adsl, too (sci.fi, another provider)

bot uses adsl lines? lol. kick it.

Had this ua on 5/31:
virgo/0.7 (-; [virgo.tiedonhaku.fi...] n/a)

Yep, that is a smiley face in the user agent.
