Hello! Try this in Google Translate and enjoy: Þetta tungumál er fyrsta vestur evrópska tungumálið sem staðfest er að heyrðist í Norður-Ameríku. Það var fyrir þúsund árum. Rústir af húsum þessa fólks hafa fundist á Nýfundnalandi. Þetta tungumál er nú aðeins talað af þrjú hundruð þúsund manna sem lifir á vestustu eyju Evrópu. Hint: Papaver nudicaule, in spike of the common name, has nothing to do with this island. The plant is a siberian native, although it is grown in gardens everywhere on the island! Thank you for all the interesting information I have got on bulbs and bulbgrowing all over. I am a devoted "bulbophile" myself, but the climate around me is quite restricting, so I stick to tulips, daffodills and such, as I have no frostfree greenhouse. But some have anyhow found their way to my windowsill! I wish all of you a very merry and prosperious New Year.

I wasn't sure which language Marco's out-of-office message was written in, as Spanish to English didn't work at all, but Detect Language knew it was Italian, and translated it. Very useful. I wonder how it will manage with rarer languages?
