Thread Name: Help: Translations needed
Subject: Help: Translations needed
Along with other re-vamps I have added an FAQ page on my website and thought foreign surfers might cope well with addresses, telephone numbers and dates but not my abbreviations and explanations.

Mr Red's FAQ's

It might even need translating into English! Puns and jokey styles don't translate well. I have no translations as of the time of writing.
Anyway if there are any polyglots out there who understand the concept of pub sessions/FC's and can do a short interpret (or literal translation) I would be grateful.
All languages considered, though my principle targets will be 1) the nearer countries to the UK eg French, Danish, Dutch, German, Castillian, Norwegen etc 2) the cultural minorities of Europe who come over to demonstrate their folklore eg Catalan, Breton, Basque, Flemish, Friesland, 3) ethnic groups living in the UK, eg Irdu, Bangladeshi, Glasga, Scouse.
As luck would have it I have access to a class of students learning English (of several less appropriate origins) who may help but they are not folkies and are mostly struggling with English.
with other alphabets I intend using .gif files.
I am aware of Babelfish but have not heard good reports nor visited.
