Hi,

If you company does business world wide, one way around web filtering
products is to go to a web site that translates to other languages. Most
commercial filter block these sites, however since my company does business
world-wide we have to unblock them. If you put the URL in to translator it
will take you to the site and the filters never see it. That's why we watch
our logs and know who should be using translators.
