My website about theory of sailing is well visited, and many people like its
content, but it is in Dutch.

I just translated it to English. Unfortunately English is not my first
language, so if someone can help me making it easier to read and help with
some nautical words you would make me happy.
www.sailtheory.com
By the way, it is a non commercial site about sailing, so please do not
accuse me of spamming.

If some theory Guru could help with the content, He (or she) is welcome.

Bablefish does not support dutch,
anyway computer translators do not produce a good translation.
For example, with
http://www.worldlingo.co.uk/products...ranslator.html

I translated the passage below. It sounds like Yoda from starwars and misses
some essential words (schijnbare=apparent)

"1 Can a boat sail more rapidly than wind?
For wind: of course not (nou yes without engine and other insipid jokes
then).
Around half wind: if you have a boat with not too much capacitance must this
easily is possible.
Surfers and catamarans sail regular two times harder than wind.
With an ordinary sail boat you do not obtain this generally.
Perhaps you can understand that if you half wind speed recovers, with the
same speed as wind, schijnbare wind slantingly of forward, and you sail just
like to wind with that ordinary can continue."

I sometimes used this machine translator as a help, but not for the final
version.

Best Regards,

Pim

Just a quick note on the site - I like it, and I like what you are trying to
do with it. I have a few things that I can help you with particularly with
your diagrams on the sail - in fact I think i have one somewhere I can send
you.

I'll be back in touch.

Cheers

Richard

Dear Richard,

Thank you,
I hope that you can find the diagrams of the sails and send it to me,
Off course I do not care for the format (fax, photo, email, whatever), the
help is welcome.

Best Regards,
Pim Geurts.

Reading your translations from the wordlingo_translator application
clearly demonstrated that the instruction manuals for VCR's were all
translated from Japanese using wordlingo; it all makes sense now!
