I have recieved a generous offer to translate my program documentation into German and I decided to accept it.

I don't want anybody feeling left out,
and it is a nice idea,
so if you know the language well and decide to help
extract the files from

http://members.toast.net/mlc/ETC_doc.zip

and do as much or as little as you can.

German is covered, I'd also like to see French, Italian, and Spanish translations.
You don't have to redo the html or keyguide graphics, the text translation is all that I really need. Please include how you want to be credited as well.

You can get free translations done there - might not be perfectly accurate, but it's a translation.

I'd rather let the end users translete the English than distribute the mangled syntax that usually comes out of those programmed language translators.

Hey I got your unexpected work Xanatus thanks.

Folks I'm not limiting this to just German and French which I have commitments for.

Does anyone care about the Italian and Spanish readers?
And maybe whatever they speak in the Netherlands as well?

Yes that is the problem, you'd need a different font right?

If you can use the standard font then

Yes John Darkeye I'd like to include Greek as well.

I started with this text:

*** Easy Tank COMMBAT End-User License Agreement ***
You must agree to play your best when using Easy Tank COMMBAT.

and ran it through the translator both ways.

I could not begin to imagine the stupidness that would result from a wholepage translation of this one.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

German
*** Einfache Behälter COMMBAT Ende-Benutzer Lizenzvereinbarung ***
Sie müssen damit einverstandenSEIN, Ihr bestes zu spielen, wenn Sie einfachen Behälter COMMBAT verwenden.

*** End user license agreement COMM-asked simple containers ***
They must in agreement-be to play your best if you use simple container COMM-asked.


Spanish
*** Acuerdo De Licencia Fácil Del Extremo-Usuario Del Tanque COMMBAT ***
Usted debe acordar jugar su mejor al usar el tanque fácil COMMBAT.

*** Agreement De Easy Licencia Of Extremo-Usuario Of Tank COMMBAT ***
You must decide to play your better when using easy tank COMMBAT.


French
*** Accord de licence Facile D'Extrémité-Utilisateur Du Réservoir COMMBAT ***
Vous devez accepter de jouer votre meilleur en utilisant le réservoir facile COMMBAT.

*** Easy licensing agreement Of End-User Of Tank COMMBAT ***
You must agree to play your the best by using easy tank COMMBAT.


Italian ***
*** Accordo Di Autorizzazione Facile Dell'Estremità-Utente Del Serbatoio COMMBAT ***
Dovete acconsentire a giocare il vostro la cosa migliore quando usando il serbatoio facile COMMBAT.

*** Agreement Di Easy Autorizzazione Of Estremità-Utente Of Tank COMMBAT ***
You must consent to play yours the better thing when using easy tank COMMBAT.

David89 I'd try systransoft.com, but Altavista uses their technology.
