 * I got a comment that was just jibberish go through, but as I was checking it,
   it didn’t seem like a spam comment. I think it turned out to be a comment made
   in another language on my website. I ended up deleting it since I couldn’t understand
   it, but is there a way that I can either have it translated or something so that
   it doesn’t just appear to be spam?

 * Erm, I suppose you could come up with a plugin that would allow the visitor to
   select a language option from a dropdown menu, which would then filter the comment
   through a translation script in the appropriate language, but I have no idea **
   how** you would go about doing it… As a sidenote, Bayesian translation would 
   probably put a lot less strain on your server, imo, if this is gonna be a regular
   thing. 😉

 * heh I don’t think it’ll be a regular thing, and I’m still not 100% sure that 
   it wasn’t actually spam and not a legit comment in another language. Just wondering
   if there are anyways to really figure it out.

 * Depends on what you mean by “jibberish”. Were there numerous ? and box characters
   and such? Then it could have been a legit post. If rather it was something like:
 * fkslfmk flfefekmlfemkf lefmkelfemfklewfmkel feklmaewle
 * It’s likely to be spam, or comment graffiti.

 * ah ok, then it was most likely comment grafiti. It was just interesting because
   the link that it had was for a college in Europe which seemed legit.
