[AccessD] Translations added to the DBA site

Just quoting from Karl Baedeker's The Traveller's Manual of Conversation
in Four Languages (1836 ed.) can be found: 'Postilion, stop; we wish to 
get down;
a spoke of one of  the wheels is broken.' In an 1886 edition I have 
found: 'Are the postilions
insolent?; the lightning has struck; the coachman is drunk.'

You could sense the browsers default language like http:\\www.trigeminal.com
