I have converted many Russian source code help files from the KOL project into English using PROMT translator online. Once in a while you get a funny translation like "I hit the code twice before she compiled me". But most of it is pretty good and pretty legible, and A LOT more automated than doing it manually. Translators like alta vista or babelfish are not nearly as good as PROMT. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
