Can you read German ???
Man I wish I could get a translation of that manual.

@corlin i'm just trying to translate it now

"Using Google Translate, you can actually upload entire documents for instantaneous translations, or use what’s called the Translator Toolkit to edit and modify a document as you translate it

Additionally, you can use Google’s translation tools to translate Google Docs as you go, which is another method"

FTR: i have never done this before learning curve lol

@ecksmc

Oh....
Cool.
I did not know that.

Let me know.

@corlin i knew you could just never actually done it before or really read up in how to

i'll let ya know hopefully be able to download a translated version to share

@corlin not gonna work

only translates the top of the document

the actual pages after that are all blank after translation via google drive method

same happened via google translate app by uploading the doc there

must not be recogonising they pages of the actual manual inside the PDF - shame

unless someone else has better luck or another method we are out of luck

@ecksmc
Thanks for trying.

@ecksmc
I might try to OCR it. Then translate.
But I have to go to work soon.
Maybe tomorrow.

@corlin @ecksmc your might use Google lens to view it. I had some luck, though it's a little finicky if you position incorrectly. Hard to screenshot sideways.

@evistre good idea

although you won't be able to save a english version of the manual right??

just view it, to read, as you go paragraph by paragraph ??

which would be okay

i would prefer a full translated version for jumping back and forth while reading without having to keep translating

@corlin

@ecksmc @corlin

It looked like you could put in an image, which maybe it would let you save a translation of? But one image at a time. Not a PDF.

@evistre not really used google lens for anything

might have a wee play around see what occurs

cheers 👍

@corlin

@evistre @ecksmc
Damn.
Now that I can read that snippet.
I really want the whole thing.

“The command keyboard issues commands instantly.”

Ok going to work on this tomorrow.

Thanks @evistre

@corlin @evistre ikr

we want our "toys" mummy and we want them now

🤣

have a good one Corlin :)

@corlin I was thinking along the same lines lol

I have scan-pro installed on my smartphone

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.doo.snap

has OCR feature

probably would take some time doing it page by page

if I do and it works I'll let ya know 😉 not attempting it now though
