chinese wikipedia

there is now a wikipedia-like site in chinese, censored by the chinese communist government. check it out in english. that is the version translated by google. or try this english version, translated by altavista babel fish. they are not the same, although both are based on systran translation software. what i like is the low quality of the translations, it reminds me of “all your base are belong to us” from the sega genesis game zero wing. don’t try adding any new entries, however, because it is not going to translate things back from english into simplified chinese. well actually, you could use google translation to translate back into simplified chinese before you post. but please don’t post any racist jokes about chinese people, especially not ones that you translate back into simplified chinese. that would be a very bad idea.
