Hey De,
While I like your translation better . . .

There are Greek to English translators which apparently do work.

>>>
Faced with very harsh working conditions and racial discrimination, the Greek workers who, at the dawn of the 20th century, contributed to one of the construction miracles of the modern world."
>>>

And for those who want to translate the entire article . . . This should be a link to ZZ-sharts article.

>>>

By the way, aren't the greeks, like the russians, prone to claiming credit for things invented by others?

Zim.

Re: “Fooey, Greek translation isn't supported (Google)...

Αντιμέτωποι με πολύ σκληρές εργασιακές συνθήκες και φυλετικές διακρίσεις είχαν έρθει οι Ελληνες εργάτες που στην αυγή του 20ού αιώνα συνέβαλαν σε ένα από τα κατασκευαστικά θαύματα του σύγχρονου κόσμου”

I can translate it:
In 1904, more than 1,000 Greek whores were brought to the canal zone to service the Americans building the canal. However, their smell and excessive body hair proved more than the men could stand and they were soon returned.”
