[lace] Translation please
Many years ago I bought a second hand book on Russian Tape lace and am now finally going to work some of the patterns. My problem is that I think it is written in Dutch. The diagrams are excellent and the patterns are self explanatory. I would like to know what is the English translation of ‘vlasgaren’. It is the thread suggested, is this linen or cotton? Thank you in advance Anna in a warm and cloudy Sydney where I have a green garden to enjoy.

[lace] translation please
Hi everyone, can you help... what does 'kantbrief op 100%' mean please, I have the english translated pages for my book 'Motieven in Kleur' but the english doesn't include the diagrams and the section I'm not sure of is written on each pattern page (some have 50%)... I know its to do with the pattern size but it would be nice to know the real translation I have just finished the 'sailing ship' from the book and now intend to do the 'hat on a stand', awaiting delivery of the threads and they can't come soon enough.

Re: [lace] translation please
kantbrief op 100% simply means that the pricking is printed at full size. When it says, ...op 50%, it is reduced, and you would print it out at 200% to get the size used in the model, with the threads which are recommended.

Re: [lace] Translation, please
Dear Friends, Perhaps someone will gently share with Ulrike how difficult it is for non-German-speaking lacemakers to use her various very wonderful books. I have heard others who have invested in Ulrike's books express a desire for translations. Even one, who spends much time translating for OIDFA, had difficulty executing a lace in one of Ulrike's books! I have 2 of Ulrike's books and have never once read any of the text. They are both in German and I find the working diagrams excellent. They are both books on quite complex Chantilly and I'd recommend them highly regardless of your first language.

I have heard others who have invested in Ulrike's books express a desire for translations. Even one, who spends much time translating for OIDFA, had difficulty executing a lace in one of Ulrike's books! Some publishers (Batsford, for example) put the multi-languages right in the book and print flags of the various nationalities on the book spines. Others offer separate text translations of books that will be used by lacemakers in several countries (for which one pays an extra fee) - not quite as desirable, because the translations can get separated from the original. But, these accommodations are rare. Why is there is so much resistance to providing translations from some countries? More books would be sold; more lace book specialists would be happy to carry the books in their inventories. More people would learn about the laces of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc. *We admire the laces of all nations*, and there is a strong trend of people attempting to make diverse laces, leading them to purchase books published in various countries. The very nature of what we do is *International in Spirit*, and we support each other across borders. In this particular case, Ulrike is famous for her technical expertise and originality, and more people would like to use her books, not just look at them with admiration!

But, these accommodations are rare. Why is there is so much resistance to providing translations from some countries? I believe that there is a growing tendency to provide translations. There are however, some major problems to overcome. My mother-tongue is Dutch, and even though I have lived in Canada for almost 37 years, I am still fluent in Dutch. However, until fairly recently, you'd better not ask me to explain lacemaking in the Dutch language, as it is a skill a acquired here, and never even knew the Dutch words for. Then, we are dealing with a very specific vocabulary, and a regular, general dictionary often is no help at all. I don't see it as a resistance to providing translations, more as a lack of resources. In order to do a reasonable translation, you need someone who knows about lacemaking, who can read and write both languages fluently, and who is interested in doing translations. Again, because we are dealing with an esoteric language, a computer translating program will not do, nor is it enough if you have taken lessons in a language but do not have the experience of speaking the language and learn the idiom. OK, my two cents worth - and if someone could be found to translate Ulrike's books, that would be great. I do have a German-English lace related word-list, and am always game to translate Dutch to English, so anyone needing help, just give me a shout. (Not everyone at once, please!)

I have found this to very true. I have a friend whose first language is German and who also speaks beautiful (an unaccented!) English. She has much difficulty translating lace directions for me. She says that many of the words are specialized and she is simply not familiar with them. I, too, like multi-language books so that we can all use them.

Re: [lace] Translation, please
Dear Jeri, The problem is that translation takes so much time. I once tranlsted the book from B. Underwood A Bedfordshire lace Collection in german for my companion in my lace-class. Don't ask me how many hours I need. That was why my husband give me a PC because correction is easieer there and after some time later I meet this wonderful arachne group.
