Does anyone know even basic Chinese?
 

If so, please PM me - I need a favor....
Thanks!

i was going to say that many people in china do...but then, you meant here...

How about Japanese? I have a lot of really nice Japanese journals, but I have no idea what they say. I just look at the photos but some of the articles seem really interesting (at least i think they are interesting!)

I'm serious!
There's a guy at the orchid source forum - Rainforest - I think his first name is Peter, and he is in Borneo. I saw a while back that he posted a message in English on the Chinese Paph. forum. I thought perhaps I could do that too- except I don't know what buttons are the ones I need to use to register! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...llinghappy.gif

Those people over there post the nicest photos!

there's a grad student for whom we're doing a favor so i'll ask him for one....

That would be MOST excellent, Brian!
Thank you.

Step 1: go to http://babelfish.altavista.com

Step 2: copy and paste http://192.192.42.4/~tbgweb/cgi-bin/forums.cgi?forum=62 into the 'Translate a web page' field

Step 3: choose 'Chinese-trad to English' from the dropdown.


It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. Rinse, lather, repeat for all pages on the forum.

hmm, that worked pretty well, except I still can't figure out how to post or register. I shall have to nose around a bit.

I think it may be the 'Records the forum' link at the top... To the left of the yellow text?

okay, he'll take a look in a minute
should i just ask him to find how to register and post? are there other things you'd like me to ask him?

wow, such determination, Heather. I once took 2 years of German to buy parts for my car.

heather, you've got a pm...

I got it posted!
Thanks guys!!

I even translated what I wanted to say into Chinese - I thought it might be kind of rude to put it just in English, so I put it in both languages. Neat-o! Hope it works!
