It used to be that you could link directly to a dialectized version of a web
page directly instead of making a stop through The Dialectizer site
to explain and confirm exactly what is going on.
We understand that this may be an inconvenience for some users wishing to
provide direct links to dialectized pages on their own pages. However, the
intermediate page has become necessary for us to include for two very
important reasons:
- Some users were encountering dialectized web pages without first visiting
the main Dialectizer page. This was causing confusion as to
what the dialectized pages were. Some web site owners thought their
sites had been copied, thus violating copyrights. To remove any and
all confusion about what the dialectized web pages are and where they
came from, the intermediate page had to be added.
- Some unscrupulous individuals have attempted, and have continued to
attempt, to put up their own front-ends to The Dialectizer
(allowing web surfers to enter URLs into their pages but
still linking to my site to do the translation), thereby claiming
The Dialectizer as their own work. Now it is not possible
for these false front-ends to be used without an intermediate stop
over at the legitimate Dialectizer site.
