used the rebirth splash screen and the Google translator to create something international...

I'm pretty sure we decided on 'take the controls' as a new slogan.


Also, I think it would be better to get human members of the community to translate it - otherwise a google translate glitch could make it look really stupid


Like if it translated it to 'steal the power' or such!
 
In french, "l'ordinateur partout" sounds very bad :S


It's maybe a little bit like if I said in english, "the computer everywere", it not incorrect, but it feels weird.
 
Some translation suggestions to Dutch, since that is my mother tongue:


Take the controls: hard to translate, since there is no Dutch word that conveys the two meanings of "controls" at the same time. I suspect the same problem arises in other languages. "Neem de controle" would be a literal translation, but nobody would think about "controls" as in "control pad", only the "take command" meaning is translated.


The everywhere computer: "de computer voor overal" would be an acceptable translation. The google translation you used rather means "the on the go computer" or "the travel computer" or something like that.
