Lately, the last month or so, a number of comments have been left on my blogs, both of them, in an Asian script. I am so ignorant I don't know if it's Japanese or Korean. Somehow it doesn't look Chinese. I LOVE comments on my bogs and LOVE knowing someone is reading them. But I am totally ignorant of even how to speak an Asian language, let alone how to read its script. I'm baffled about why suddenly these comments are appearing when, over a few preceding years, I never got comments in a foreign language. So we add to ignorant and baffled, frustrated because I don't know of a program or how to use any such program to translate these comments. Obviously I cannot respond in any way but this note.

I've been getting these sorts of "comments" too. So, apparently have many others (they all lead to another link). It's a spam operation. I simply delete them.
I got those too so I copied and pasted them into google translate. They are Japanese and they are enhancement ads. Yes, definitely spam. I didn't think this could happen if you had word verification.
Thanks to both of you. Never occurred to me to think of spam.

Ah yes, the dreaded Asian spam comments. I have to delete them frequently. They often end in "....................." and the periods are actually a spam link.
Anyway--I wanted to send you a quick congrats. I just gave you a One-Minute Writing of the Day award for your response on 4/26! http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.com/2010/04/todays-prompt-adulthood.html
June -- My daughter translated one that I received. Translated -- it was a porn site linking reader to other porn sites. Yikes, I quickly deleted it and will any other Asian comments that I cannot translate. -- barbara
