Multiple language support on craigslist

We tend to do stuff without much announcement, but I figured you might want to know that we implemented multiple language support for craigslist in November. Just Spanish then, but last week we added more languages. Check for yourself:

The programmers inform me that maybe Basque, maybe Klingon, are next.

Let me know if you want any translations into Esperanto done gratis. (Seriously! I used to work at the central office of the World Esperanto Association in The Netherlands.)

Bravo ! Super initiative.

Hi,
I will give you a Norwegian translation for free. I am desperate to get Craigslist in *Bergen* Norway.

google finds these. i saw an ad on a SW (USA) cl, that had an .es and .en page in google results.
but the lang diff showed only in the cl-generated text of the page. on both the .es and .en pages, the poster's text was in english.
so cl isn't trying to babelfish.. which is likely impossible considering that some of the postings in "native english" resemble babbleish.. :-)
