Confrere:
I am interested in translating email and web
pages into English. I use as example the note
from Joel about the Castillon Dam. The link
contained in his email is to a web page in French and so my question.
I use Eudora for mail and have receded to FireFox
version 2.00.18. However,

I suspect that AltaVista won't let us translate more than a few hundred
words
Hi all,
It now seems there will be a translation of "How Sundials
Work" into Polish in due course.

Dear Steve and all,
Three free translators I sometimes use for websites or short texts, are:
- Babelfish: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
- Google: http://translate.google.com/
- Prompt: http://www.online-translator.com/
You may try each on the AFP press release:

Is there anyone who understand the mathematics behind the sundial
concept, i.e. determining the hour lines so that the curved form of
the shadow touches this lines in a point at the concerned time ?

No one else (I think!) has so far mentioned this simple tip for when you are
using computer translation. ?
As we know the more simply you express yourself the better chance there is of a
computer translation being understandable and in order to check this it's a
good idea after doing a transl
I, too would like to see the math. I would love to try and work this
out, but I don't have the time at present, and I'm not sure I am up to
the task anyway. I can imagine that it may involve an "envelope" of
line intersections, much the same way an astroid is a curve drawn from
intersections

This dam dial reminded me of a similar sort of dial in a silo in Louisa VA.
See the NASS Registry #594 or go to this direct link to the dial.

You are right, this silo dial shadow reminds the dam dial
Dear Tony,
Thank you for your HSW presentation!
I wonder if it would not be a good idea to have a Dutch translation, too.
Even if many Dutch read English fairly well, it would be a shame to find
that one or two details would get underexposed because of some malevolent
instance of linguistic "faux
