Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? @ba: Intriguing: I've never used Google Translate as a dictionary before, but hope to try it. Thank you. When learning a paragraph of reliable halachic text that you can't begin to parse at all, you could use Google Translate and fiddle with the alternate translations it offers. If you ended up with something that made sense, would you personally rely on it for practical halacha?
Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? If I credit you, then may I please copy your answer and heavily edit it to create a new answer?
Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? Thank you very much for your translation. One point: Imagine that the owners were non-Sabbath-observers but the operators were complete Sabbath-observers, and that I was wearing a kippah. If this were true, then I believe it's exceedingly unlikely that the operators would serve me anything non-kosher. If anything was non-kosher, I assume they'd refuse to serve it to me.

Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? @ba: Where multiple translations are possible, a dictionary shows me every possible translation. Machine translation just picks one. So, dear all, do you really rely on machine translation when you don't understand part of a halachic work?

Dec 6	revised	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? Copyediting. msh210, thank you: I took a cues from your comment.
Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? @msh210: I added "[completely]" to imply that R' Feinstein probably wasn't referring to cafeterias that also sell plastic-wrapped kosher muffins. You're right, "[completely]" conflicts with "kosher food". Feel free to edit.
Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? My friend Daniel Moskovich once told me he thinks יש להתרחק מ in Shulchan Aruch means "you shouldn't". Why do you think יש לאסור means just "there is room to forbid"?
Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? I'm not sure if I should translate or transliterate חשד. (cont'd...)
Dec 6	comment	What does R' Feinstein say about eating kosher food in a non-kosher restaurant? @ba: Thank you for the word translations. Yes, I could do more with a dictionary. But a non-religious dictionary isn't perfect for this purpose. Also, the second half of the paragraph uses quite a few more difficult Hebrew words. (continued...)

Dec 6	comment	First trip to the synagogue! Tips and advice please! @MahaliaSamuels: Good question; thank you for posting it. How was your synagogue experience? P.S. It can be fun to visit a variety of Orthodox synagogues. I especially like those affiliated with Aish HaTorah or Ohr Somayach.
Dec 5	revised	The Huncovce, Slovakia Yeshiva — any photos, diaries, documents? Adding a weblink.
Dec 5	revised	A restroom in a formerly-kosher eatery vs. one in a never-kosher eatery: which is preferable? Copyediting. Note that "bathroom" is a much more common term than "restroom", and often applies even to public toilets with no baths.
Dec 5	revised	At a non-kosher restaurant, is sliced raw fish kosher? Copyediting.
