Attention Richard Menedetter,

 RM> Can you ask Mikey why he posted a swedish proverb in an english
 RM> echo?

Because it (they) were the only text that could be readily found starting with 
the letter Ä.  That particular character doesn't exist in the English 
language.

Since you appear to favour English how is this instead? - Wide ne biþ wel, 
cwæþ se þe gehyrde on helle hriman.

Also this should interest you;

-={ trans -no-ansi "Wide ne biþ wel, cwæþ se þe gehyrde on helle hriman." 
}=-
Wide ne biþ wel, cwæþ se þe gehyrde on helle hriman.

Wide neither, cwæþ se hans gehyrde on helle hriman.

Translations of Wide ne biþ wel, cwæþ se þe gehyrde on helle hriman.
[ Norsk -> English ]

Wide ne biþ wel, cwæþ se þe gehyrde on helle hriman.
    Wide neither, cwæþ se hans gehyrde on helle hriman., Wide ne Bith wel, 
cwæþ see The gehyrde on pouring hriman.
-={ End of commandline output }=-

Note it misidentifies it as Norsk although it is a tough one to identify given 
that Old English has fallen out of usage for around 1000 years, give or take a 
couple hundred years.

For the record the experts translate it to modern English as; Things are bad 
everywhere, said the man who heard wailing in hell.

End transmission.
