| NoSlang.com launches improved internet slang translator
ALLEN PARK, MI - NoSlang.com, a website that translates
internet slang (or "netspeak") into English, has launched an
improved slang translator and now offers a translation
dictionary that is 300% larger than when the project began.
The NoSlang.com website specializes in translating acronyms and
terms commonly used in email and internet chat rooms into
readable text. This service is especially useful for parents
whose children are now talking in netspeak while communicating
online.
For example, the translator would take completely unreadable
sentences such as "lol. i'm afk, bbiab d00d" and return a far
easier to understand English translation of: Laughing out loud,
I'm away from keyboard, be back in a bit dude.
Added features also include a bad language filter, spell
checker, and l33tspeak translation. L33tspeak is the process of
using numbers instead of letters in words; often seen in
multi-player online games. The site also includes helpful
articles such as "internet slang every parent should know",
"commonly misused words", and "a guide to using Instant
Messengers at work" that will help any parent get up to speed
quickly.
The site's simple design, comprehensive database, and ease of
use have contributed to its recent growth in popularity. "It's
really useful," said NoSlang.com founder Ryan Jones, "you can
just copy and paste from somebody's LiveJournal and find out
what the heck they're talking about. It's also a great way for
parents help protect their kids by learning their language. Not
many parents know to look for warning signs like paw, p911, or
pir".
Jones, who holds a degree in Computer Science from the
University of Michigan, is a professional web developer and
freelance writer.
