On the one hand I find this just a little bit wacky (I am 75% English)

On the other hand, if there are any language options other than English in direct.gov then I have failed to find them. (Compare this and this)

Perhaps we can offer somthing like….

governo senza senso

Regierung ohne Richtung

gouvernement sans direction

Hm. As an Englishman (with forebears part reimmigrated from Australia and part German) I’d better not pass comment on the Scots site. And please don’t tell me what it cost. Let’s forward it to some full-blooded Scotsmen to comment.

I love autotranslators. They’re no good for Chinese Whispers – merely into another language and back again creates complete gobbledigook.
