  I was looking at the referrers on my blog stats, saw something from google translator, clicked on the link, and found my blog in Chinese or Japanese or something Oriental.

  The link is
  http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=zh-TW&sl=en&u=http://barbarah.wordpress.com/2006/10/20/richard-armour/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=9&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Drichard%2Barmour%2527s%2Bpoem%26hl%3Dzh-TW%26lr%3D

  Has someone swiped my blog and printed it in another language? Or did someone just translate it to read it?

  Best guess, someone translated it to read it. :)

  Someone looking to read your blog in another language entered the URL into Google’s Translate too. It’s your blog, just translated using the available algorithms online. No one’s stealing your stuff.

  Thanks — I realized later if someone had “swiped” my blog it probably would’ve been surrounded by ads or something.
