I would tend to agree with you Ann, and, speaking as an Index dealer who
has done a fair degree of "Swenglish" Translation for Index, we tend to
mostly trash them. It's easier to give a short course over the
telephone.
In 90% of cases anyway, we set them up here for our clients before
shipping, and save everyone a lot of grief.
