@ecksmc
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
@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
I might try to OCR it. Then translate.
But I have to go to work soon.
Maybe tomorrow.
@corlin I was thinking along the same lines lol
I have scan-pro installed on my smartphone

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
