This today (7/22/2023) returns "Invalid Request."
Searching just the domain, farkastranslations.com, returns Under Construction, "Coming Soon. A new website is in the works." No indication of when that was first posted.

WARNING
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Polish translation.
No diacritics.

Eg.:
- Nie moge sie wytlumaczyc - odrzekla Alicja - poniewaz, jak pan widzi, nie jestem soba.

Should be:

Nie mogę się wytłumaczyć - odrzekła Alicja - ponieważ, jak pan widzi, nie jestem sobą.
