Dear wwwsift users,

If you have used the WWW Search Interfaces for Translators recently, you may
have noticed that Google is having trouble interpreting special characters sent
to it through the interfaces. For example, you might see the following search
string generated:

ozl intitle:abk?rzungen OR intitle:abk?rzungsverzeichnis OR
intitle:abk?rzungsliste OR intitle:akronyme

...instead of:

ozl intitle:abkürzungen OR intitle:abkürzungsverzeichnis OR
intitle:abkürzungsliste OR intitle:akronyme

If this happens, you will need to manually change the question marks to the
correct characters. This may be inconvenient but is only necessary for those
strings that include special characters.

This may be a temporary problem, so I shan't modify the interfaces yet (also
because this would involve quite a bit of work, and if Google decides to change
things AGAIN...)

Sorry about the inconvenience, but I hope the interfaces will still be of use to
you!

Kind regards,

Tanya Harvey Ciampi (Dipl. DOZ)
