Can anyone translate this?

I noticed a lot of hits to my website (www.8thpassenger.com) were coming from it, so I thought I'd check and see what it was.  The ribcage-looking thing at the top of the page is part of the Polish poster for the movie Alien, and part way down the page there's a little blurb with a link to my site.  I gotta be honest...I have no freakin' idea what language this is, so I can't even babelfish it.  I've never even seen the com.il domain before.

Any help?

All I know is that .il is Israel.

Looks like it could be Hebrew with the .il sounds like its Israel.  I look up some stuff on the web and it seems to match the hebrew symbols on a website I found.  Couldn't find a site that translates Hebrew through. Sorry

That site is the closest thing I can find to translate Hebrew.  But I haven't had any luck actually getting it to work.  Sorry.  :-\

It's definitely Hebrew, unfortunately that's all I can help with, I forgot everything I learned in school :P

I had no luck either finding any online translators too, so you're best bet might be just to e-mail the webmaster and ask him whats up.

Yeah the translator Jesse just posted sucks, it identifies the language as technically being Yiddish (a derivative of Hebrew more or less) but it won't translate either to English. I think it might be because the text isn't in script which is how people write in Hebrew, where as the text on the website is the alphabet as written in books

JohnH- your site is all sorts of kick ass. I love the Kenner line of Aliens toys.
