Google Translate...

Laptop using Windows 7 and latest Firefox...
A lot of my internet time is spent looking at and diagnosing Spanish newspaper articles, sometimes these are a little heavy going and I use Google Translate to get a rough translation. However many times lately when I put a newspaper url into the translate box I get a 400 error message as follows...

400. That’s an error.
Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know.

Highlighting then cutting and pasting the relevant text into the translation box works ok but is time consuming in the case of lengthy articles...

żExiste sexismo en la ciencia? | El Independiente de Granada is a case in point... one of the people mentioned in the article is a personal friend.

Seems to be a Firefox thing,,, translate works OK in IE.

Any idea why this is happening? I don't think its a copyright issue because the cut and paste option invariably works...
