[duxuser] Re: translating from english to another language

Hello Paula, 

The advice that George has given you regarding translating documents into 
another language is  very good. 

Several years ago, I bought a piece of software called "Word Magic" it was an 
English/Spanish Spanish/English translation program. They charged me $400 for 
it and believe me, it wasn't worth it. The translation although accurate in 
some spots, more often than not was wrong in most others. So much so that I 
ended up getting a dictionary of my own, looking things up myself and going 
from there. 

I speak English and Spanish fluently and am of hispanic descent so, were I you, 
I'd find someone who knows Spanish, French or whatever language you're trying 
to translate to and with their help and that of the appropriate dictionary, 
work with your document in that manner. I also tried the online translation 
programs and they were even worse than that Word Magic dictionary. Also, if 
you're a totally blind person, those programs are not very blind-friendly at 
all because they usually split the screen when you're using them. 

Sorry list, for such a long post. I've been through this with much frustration 
so hope this will help you, Paula.
