Re: translating German sites

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@bewellnet.com>]

Randy's translation aid will be helpful to most of us, but I had to chuckle reading the
English translation with all the untranslatable hobby-only German words in it.  'Aquaristik'
means 'aquarium hobby' for example.  As for the special characters used in some non-English
languages, ASCII has codes for them.  Check your software to find "special characters".  On
microsoft, for example, the ß (es-zed or double s) can be formed by holding the ALT key down
and, using the key pad, entering 0223.  I keep a list of commonly used symbols handy all the
time.  Anyone that wants it (for Microsoft only) can contact me and I'll e-mail a list to
them.
