[Comment] April Fools!

Thanks, glad you all liked the April Fools joke. Big Grin I didn't have much time to put one up, so I quickly ran the page through Amikai to translate it into Japanese, then edited the links so that they would work (I also changed a few other things like making the word "Manga" appear in Japanese instead of English). The page is back to normal now, but I'll be posting a news post soon with a link to the page for anyone who missed it.

Hmm, I had tested it in IE and Mozilla before I put it up, and it displayed in Japanese for both, so I'm not sure what went wrong...

Well, something I noticed was that it's a separate page that's in Japanese...if you click on any of the options on the sidebar it brings you to the appropriate page (in English), and if you click home it brings you to the homepage (back in English).

Apparently, http://www.paradigm-city.com/ is Japanese, while http://www.paradigm-city.com/index.php is English.

Still, a great job. Big Grin There weren't enough April Fool's jokes today...

Yep, I uploaded a separate index.html file to get Apache to use it instead of the usual index.php so that I didn't have to change any of the existing pages (and so people could easily get back to the English main page if they got confused).
