Lynn, Here's some possibilities:
> English French (Adrian :-) > Case Sensitive Cas sensible > Case Insensitive Cas insensible > All Words Tous les mots > Any Word Tout mot > All words or any Tous les mots ou tout mot > Exact Words Mots exacts or Expression exacte > Font Police (can have Police de caractères as well either/or) (Font Size = Taille de police) > Small Petite (feminine because police is feminine) > Medium Moyenne (as above) > Large Grande (as above) > Entire Bible La Bible Entière > New Testament Nouveau Testament > Old Testament Ancien Testament > Gospels Les Evangiles (you don't tend to use accents on capital letters) > Search from Recherche du .... (normally would be 'recherche de' but because both beginning and chapter (as in current chapter) are masculine de becomes du) > Beginning Début > Current Chapter Chapitre actuel > Each word Chaque mot > Yes Oui > No Non That's kind of a first attempt. Barry had done a very good job. I shall run this lot past a friend of mine just to be sure - I think his English might be good enough :-) French phrases often seem to come out a bit longer than English ones which can be a killer for dialog boxes. I know someone who may be able to help with Dutch and German. I'll pass this e-mail along. It may be worth your while popping along to Goggle, having a look at 'Advanced Search' in English then flipping the language 'Preferences' to French and going back to 'Recherche Avancée' to see how Goggle has done it.
