Thanks for sorting the translation Gilby.

Just a little comment about publisty and translations. Please avoid PDF format, it can not be just plugged in to the majority translation programmes. HTML, Doc, text or almost any others you can steal the text.

Cheers

Roger

While you cannot (easily) edit a pdf file, it is possible to get the text out of a pdf file. In Adobe Reader 6 I think there is a button for it. In Adobe Reader 5, press your keyboard V and the cursor changes so that you can copy and paste text, into a translator if so desired. Thought I should mention that. Similarly, BTW, if you press G, you can copy graphics from a pdf file.

Ciao tutti,

Hi,

I forgot to mention that our initial version is in German only.

In the near future though, an english and maybe even a
japanese translation will be available as well.
