CAR SALES WAY DOWN IN ANDORRA.

Car sales for the month of August have been the lowest in the last 18 years.
The lack of credit seems to be the problem. Only 99 transactions were made this past August, in comparison to 122 last year.

OPENTRAD IS SO FAR, OUR FAVORITE .

In Pyrenean Isthmus in a Flash (PIF), we have found that so far, the most adequate free translator on the WEB is OPENTRAD.

http://www.opentrad.com/en/inicio?

Might not be for many the most accurate, but it is the one, according to us, who approaches the most our needs due to the languages it works with. You all are welcome to try it. So far it is possible to play around with several Pyrenean languages like Catalan, Basque/Nabarran, Occitan/Aranese, Spanish, French.....and English as an emulsifying agent among all of them.

There are other languages such as Bearnes, Gascon, Aragonese and others, which are not available yet. But perhaps, depends on us that soon the people from OPENTRAD take note of it, and make them available for us and the rest of the world.

We, at PIF, certainly hope this new tool help us to open our minds toward a better knowledge of our Pyrenean idiomatic expressions.
