translating patterns
Hello,
I know a few basic words in German and have printed out a couple lists of knitting words translated into German. I bought a couple of pattern books and want to translate them. Is the best way to write the translation on a seperate sheet of paper or to write the word in the pattern itself. Thanks. Kristine |

Kristine When I was doing French patterns, I bought an inexpensive piece of software that translated from French to English, and printed the patterns. This way you can just keep the pattern with the book from which it came. DA |

Thanks, Maggie It was years ago and I don't remember the name of the software, but I think that I picked it up at an office supply store like Office Depot. You may want to try something like this. http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/getrans.html DA |

Kristine ,, if you want to translate them for personal use , it is ok
, if you want to sell this translations , please don`t forget to contact the publisher and ask for permission. Some give it even if it for a local cahrity etc..] The book The Illustrated Dictionary of Knitting , by Rae Compton , has on page 138 , A Geramn -English translation listy of terms [ as wel as Italian -English and French -English]. It is good Knowing Basic German, but remember to consult a dictionary , otherwise you might have some unwanted surprises ... If you translate all the patternd type on separeate page if only a few you can do it on the side ,,, mirjam Hello, I know a few basic words in German and have printed out a couple lists of knitting words translated into German.

I am only doing it for myself because some of the patterns are really
cool. Yes I know about the unwanted suprises. I am taking a basic German class right now. I love Germany. I am thinking about extending my tour here for another 3 years. Kristine |

Join the German-American friendship club and see if any of the ladies in the
club knit. I'd use their advice if I could. Coming back to the states makes it harder to find the friend you'll need. "Kristine" wrote in message ups.com...

I had a friend who was stationed in Germany and she spoke/read German. If there is a public affairs officer, the people who work for him/her should be able to give you a hand. DA |
