Author Topic: Foreign languages translator Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-25-2000 02:17 PM                     I have finally gotten this new hack running here at Film-Tech. Conversion to any of the following languages: Spanish French German Italian Portugese can now be done simply by clicking on the translator at the bottom of each forum screen. Once this is done on one thread, surfing the forum will continue to be translated for our overseas film handlers.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-25-2000 02:20 PM                        I really like how your name is "Alfilerillo Molinero" in Spanish! Of course, it won't work very well for the many many people on this forum who can't spell to save their lives. You all know who you are Or then again, probably not.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-25-2000 02:30 PM                     Hmmm. "Joe Redifer" doesn't convert to ANY other language! I'll guess I'll just have to stick with "Massa' Redifer" from the jive version of Film-Tech.

I had fun reading to the translated German pages. Sometimes it is so funny, that we couldn't stop laughing. Seriously, it's a very good idea; but also showing the limits of computer based translation systems on technical business. It will be of great help to those not too familiar with English, and living abroad. For professional releases (like our Tech manuals) I will still rely on my skills, even though it is quite a task to translate a 150 page quick starter's guide with included tech notes.  |  IP: Logged
