During this hectic final season, I have noticed an increase use of Internet translating sites by the students in our lab.  I understand that this is a larger pedagogical issue here, but I was interested to hear how others have dealt with this problem.  Obviously, on a one-to-one basis, you can explain the dangers of trusting such sites, but most times, students don't ask and just proceed on their own.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!  John.
