what she said, in spades!
I feel like I can somewhat appreciate the task she has completed: I am myself SLOWLY pecking away at a German-to-English translation of a children's book, and it's both fascinating and terrifying! I'm using about 3 on-line translation engines and my one year of college German. Sven Nordqvist's Morgen, Findus, wird's was geben. It was a Christmas present last year, appears to be an Advent story, 129p., and I made it through about 3 paragraphs last Holiday season, 8-) Yes, we are total Pettsson & Findus fans.
also looking forward to the Elizabethan results, eagerly.
