SC - Another cooking failure - *sigh*

Thank you for taking the time to answer this post.  Yes your answers seems 
most helpful.  The Instructor has been hesitant to do the entire book for 
free.  She seem quite good at reading Older Spanish Dialects.  She also Is 
a cook which of course helps understanding what is being translated.

I will pass on to her the information both you and Valoise have given me.
Even though she might not want to do the entire book, al least I can give 
her an honest answer to her Question.  She had said that she will help me 
when I get stuck even if she does not want to do the entire book.  While I 
can use some of the translators, I wish I had two computers side by side. 
One to translate the old Spanish to new, and then from Spanish to 
English.  Yet even those do not help with misspelled words.

I am currently trying to translate with the help of of line translators  a 
modern german text on period furniture.  I will admitt, it is going slowly.

Thanks

Richard Keith
