In Europe, Auto Spam Translation Kicks In
An anonymous reader writes "While spam levels globally remain at a two-year high of approximately 90 percent, some European countries are seeing levels of over 95%.

The use of automated translation services enables multiple-language spam runs and is responsible for a 13% increase in spam levels in these countries since May."
