One Step Closer: The never ending quest for a VF-1 "soft" manual

2004-04-28 by Kent Dalton

Guys. Try this for me... go to:

http://world.altavista.com/babelfish/

in the "Translate a Web Page" box type:

http://kentd.freeshell.org/VF1/VF1.html

and select "Dutch to English" for "from and to languages" and then hit
"translate".

I converted the Dutch manual to HTML from PDF and then pointed
BabelFish at that. I think if we started from this, a usable English
copy could be hacked up from the translated copy....

Unfortunately, Babelfish won't let you save translated www pages but
the company that developed the software (SYSTRAN) of course, does sell
the software to do it. Anyone have access to a full version of the
software, so we could feed it the WWW pages to get hacked up
translations and then manually fill in the gaps (maybe assign 10 pages
per person or something)?

A soft copy like this would be preferable to a scanned-in copy... You
could actually search it, etc.

I also posted this in the VF1Boss group.
