Seems fixed in French: http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/combien%20de%20kilom%C3%A8tres%3F http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/combien%20de%20kilom%C3... But works with yards too! (including French) http://translate.google.com/#auto/fr/how%20many%20yards%3F http://translate.google.com/#auto/fr/how%20many%20yards%3F I now want to make a table recording correct/incorrect translations between the metric system and the imperial system! This is going to be an unproductive day. EDIT: it even works in Spanish if you forget the accent on "kilometros" http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/cuantos%20kilometros%3F http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/cuantos%20kilometros%3F

Well I think it is wrong, A mile is not a kilometer and a yard is not a meter. I think it is a mistake, one can talk about miles in spanish and kilometers in english.

  Yes. Why is that in reply to my own previous comment? I cannot see how this is "replying" (maybe you intended to post a regular comment).

Interesting, you get as "Did you mean..." the word with accent. I hope that translating from chinese you will not get this kind of tricks I don't want to walk 10km insted of 10 yards when looking for a hotel!
