Re: [monkey] Monkey Memories UPDATED! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 18 Jun 1997 02:37:18 PDT From: "Howell Parry" Subject: [monkey] Need to promote Monkey web sites to Japan... I was just thinking that it'd be really cool if we had lots of Japanese / Chinese people on this mailing list, since Monkey is a Japanese TV show, and based on a Chinese story. I've promoted my Monkey! web site and the mailing list with lots of English / American search engines and directories, but how do I promote them to the Japanese / Chinese community? Surely, they'll tend to use search engines which are in Japanese / Chinese... It'd be cool if I could find some which accepted English submissions, and then translated it into Chinese or Japanese for me. Are there any Chinese or Japanese speakers on this mailing list who might be able to help out here?

Hmm... a Java script or ActiveX thing would probably be the best way to do it, I would have thought. I suppose it would be possible in Perl though. I'm supposed to be learning ActiveX sometime eventually. If I ever get the hang of it I'll let you know. Certainly if someone else wants to write one in Perl I could probably get it up and running.

My script works like this: The questions and answers are in a single file, one question per line, with the answer on the line following the question. When the question and answer are displayed, the browser will take care of any word wrapping. The script will print a question and its answer. It shouldn't take too much hacking to get it to work with a web page. If you are interested, I can send you the scripts (I have different versions of the one script) and we can see if we can get one working.
