Anna wondered:
>> Does anyone know of a cheap, nonhuman way to review content for
localizing American English to UK English?
Yeah, outsource it to Eminem.
>>I'm hoping for something like those online translators that take your
input and turn it into another language. I need

I'm hoping for a teleportation device that will save copies of me that I can
