Anyone up for translating a German .pdf for me??

Post by Killerwhale » Sun Feb 01, 2009 8:19 pm

Been nagging KEDO to do it since they´ve sold me the cams but no luck there...
It´s 4 pages but i think a lot of it is not relevant...it´s more how many degrees cams are off to one side or another on inlet and exhaust.
Going to give it a go doing it right with a grade disc....already have slotted camsprockets so why not....

pm me an email addy if your up to it!

Cheers

Try this: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

Use Adobe Acrobat tool to extract the text from the pdf document, and take it over to BABEL FISH translation web site. It will translate the German text into English. The result usually is bad English. Sometimes _really_ bad English. It will however get the job done.

This is what I use as I buy stuff from the German Ebay. Ich sprechen German not a word. That web site is a life saver.

I tried it but it came out jibberish, don´t think the translate sites are to good in tech german.
Will take you up on the offer, sending it tonight!

Hi Killer!

You have PM ...

@ Artsi_L:

First of all I think babelfish translations are very crappy - they used to be and they're not improving :evil:
(According to my experience this applies to German - English, English - German, French - English or Italian - English!)

But in times of need ...

Though I'm no automotive engineer but only a simple mechanical engineer I think I should be able to give a proper translation ...

Striving greetings from Munich!

PS: If you want to machine translate from English to German try LEO!
You can type in whole sentences as well as single words.
