>You can also use: .......No, not really, Roland.
You see, the Altavista translation (and other web-based programs) give a literal, word-for-word interpretation which often ends up being nonsensical at worst.These instructions, labels, menu items etcetera need a colloquial translation....into everyday language, in other words.That's why someone who is familiar with both languages and who uses both on an everyday basis is a far better translation service than a computerised utility.
The human can look at a word, phrase, paragraph and craft the translation to suit the real world.Thanks for your suggestion, however and I'm pleased to say that someone has already contacted me.Regards,
Bruce.
