Don't delete this because it looks weird... Believe it or not you can read it ... (quite fluently I might add)
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig to rscheearch taem at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef!, but the wrod as a wlohe. Such a cdonition is arppoiately cllaed Typoglycemia

Raelly cool! I wnoedr if the smae geos for oehtr lgnagaues! Lkie Sdwesih!
For fun, I stuck that into Google Translate and this came out in Spanish.
Yo cdnuolt blveiee que cluod uesdnatnrd aulaclty lo que estaba rdanieg El pweor phaonmneal del hmuan mnid Aoccdrnig a rscheearch Taem en Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, que deosn't mttaer en lo oredr la ltteers en un wrod son, el tihng iprmoatnt olny es que el Frist y ltteer pasado estar en el pclae rghit. El RSET puede ser una MYPE taotl y puede sitll Raed es un wouthit porbelm. Esta es la bcuseae huamn deos mnid no Raed lteter Ervey por istlef!, pero el wrod como wlohe.
I then stuck that into google tranlate and translated it into English and this came out:

A friend sent me an email and being the curious website developer that I am, I couldn't help but follow his content back to the origin. I inadvertantly found the Cambridge research at the bottom of this page.
I was able to do 100% in two tries (three if you count my initial lack of caring)
Check it out and post how well you did on it.

That's too funny! I wouldn't think this is language dependent, so I'd say Sdwesih wulod wrok as wlel as any otehr lngauge-- you know this could become some kind of viral Typoglycemia topic here on CD! That would be hillarious... oops, hlliairous!

Yes, but... this is still a hoax. I saw this years ago at the k12 teacher usenet site.
Tihs "Cdirmbgae Eefcft" is srot of ture, but it deos not tlel the wlohe sorty. It is rieealtvly esay to raed sroht wrods, but not so esay wehn ridaneg legonr wdros. Aals, msot cetonnt wdros in Esinglh are sveen leertts lnog or leognr -- the mroe leretts terhe are in a wrod, the mroe dulcifift and caipcetmold it bmeecos to cletrorcy infietdy them wehn the ltrtees are ragnearerd. Warhees, more diiivutnme and cmoomn wrdos lkie "blal" and "baer" raimen mltsoy ungnchead and esay to rizocenge, lgneor, less cmoomn wdros, like "pltlooiun" and "soulamitunes" caghne saillbattunsy to the pniot werhe rnciooitegn is srclceay pbsslioe. Fmrrhtrouee, this atiibly smtes form a garet deal of enpicerexe rindaeg cretolcry slelepd wdros -- olny plopee who can adrealy raed pelictroinfy can do this tsak. Tihs tirck does not reeavl mcuh aoubt the pscroes of lnnreaig to raed -- it only ietaindcs that hhligy slielkd rrdeaes are so pectacred wtih txet tehy can omoercve moinr informieepcts (epshaims on the word "moinr") in the pnirt to aesccs mnnaeig.
Note that there was no such study at Cambridge at all. See the website for information on the unpublished studies.
Since the link to Matt Davis's site on the above site does not work, I found it independently for your reading pleasure
