Chrome has a nice translate feature, it is very easy to use and doesn't require copy-pasting or navigating away from the original page.

I've recently read (and was able to understand) articles written in German, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese. This feature is undervalued but it may save the world one day.

Replaced the link with Google Translate.

I confess I was lazy.

Cheers!

Interesting indeed. In summary: they knew the plane they were flying had problems, was hard to fly, dangerous, etc, and numerous pilots refused to fly it because of those issues, but they kept using it to save money. This is an article from May 2008.
