Using the Xerox MLTT Langauge Guesser at:

(beware, it seems to hang IE 5.01 on my PC running WinNT 4)
it says that the text is Norwegian_iso1.

Using Translation Experts Ltd.'s InterTran at:

it yielded this translation:
Saw have we older , alas is that so that in a at world's richest
land are they elderly been a salderings post in a good many
communes. We reading about elderly at 80 and 90 year , as am saw bad
that they sit in rullestol and no matter able fend for oneself.
Still awaiting they in årevis at to a few a institusjonsplass They
becomes shower barely apiece 14 day and herself elementary gear as
dry bleier am neither matter of course.
Not great, but it's a start.
