> [@Leo\_Bloom](#): > > **samclem** , thank you for your forbearance. Since you and **aldiboronti** , in his response, are aware of my meaning and others still may not, I ran it through Google translate to check, assuming others would choose that route. FTR, the result was “Mover crafts fluff feels.” Close enough. Google translate give me a [different result](https://translate.google.co.uk/?oe=utf-8&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&client=tw-ob#auto/en/%3F%D7%9E%D7%94%20%D7%96%D7%90%D7%AA%20%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%94%20%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%A0%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%98). ---

After taking a closer look at it, I realized that the link goes to the UK version of google. If you are using a script blocker (like I am) and enabled [google.com](http://google.com) so that google would work for you, you’ll end up with an empty link due to it going to [google.co.uk](http://google.co.uk) instead. I had to temporarily allow [google.co.uk](http://google.co.uk) to see it. ---
