Stellar, how do you explain that your translation is in modern English vocabulary and spelling? For example, the website offers the word AIDS as a possible translation, yet we know that this word has been invented as late as 1982.
Your method doesn't include a step where it is checked whether the words and spelling existed in the 15th century. So if one were to believe that your system is valid, one would also have to believe thatthe MS was made in the late 20th century.
Sorry for being harsh, but this is a massive problem we cannot keep ignoring. If you believe the MS to be made in thr 15th century, you have to use 15th century spelling and vocabulary. And if you think it is a forgery by Voynich, you still cannot rely blindly on this site because it includes words which did not exist yet in Voynich' day.
