My first reaction Jun 27, 2014

Hi Samuel,

My first reaction was that you must have been googling for the product lately but I get the same result too. Now that ProZ points to it Yves Champollion will have a hard time getting rid of impotent freelancers

Cheers,
Gerard

10 o'clock in the evening, Paris time, and it's gone now.
Gerard

Page title Jun 27, 2014

I'm pretty sure that is part of the page title in the page’s html code, since I doubt Yves chose that name it looks like they've been hacked.

Not here Jun 27, 2014

Doesn't happen to me.

And the source code is (replacing html tag symbols with {}):

{meta name='description' content='Wordfast - translation memory environment, created by Yves Champollion'}
{title}Wordfast{/title}

which is perfectly normal.

Maybe it's Google that's hacked?

Pharma-hack Jun 27, 2014

wordfast.net was hit by the so-called Pharma-hack about one year ago. What Samuel saw is an after-effect of that attack.

Yes, obviously Google scanned the page during the hack and it was left in its database in that state. I imagine that the site operator can request google to re-scan the site and update its database.

Not yet solved? Jun 27, 2014

I had this problem already in December 2012, when I tried to renew my license for Wf.

Not in Argentina! Jun 28, 2014

In Argentina when googling Wordfast anywhere, we are only offered a page that seems to me a free online tool for translators!

Yes, google.com.ar does not have the viagra title in the search results, but if you search for wordfast+viagra, there are plenty of other previously hacked pages in Argentina's Google's memory still:



I guess the useful lesson for freelancers with their own web sites might be: check manually how your site appears in the search results of various national googles.

Though it's difficult to know exactly how often Google crawls a site I doubt very much that they crawl Wordfast once every year, I would thing it gets crawled a lot more often than that.
