If you ever need a translation of a technical manual, always, always get it done by hand.

I feel a lot of pity for the Spanish right now. I mean, it translated the instructions for God's sake. Very Happy

I'm in spanish 5, and by the looks of it, whoever translated it did a pretty good job. I have no idea who is going to use it, though.

The only thing wrong with it is it translated push and pop. I know no spanish and I can understand it, so it must have done either a really good or a really bad job.

this is not humoous and as such should be put in open topic. this section is reserved for jokes or funny stories, and this is at best a strange observation.

Apparently it appeared funny to the person who wrote it.
For example, I think the translation of the Harry Potter movie to russian is funny:
Quote:
English: Good morning, Madam Hooch!
Russian: Good morning, Madam Scary Witch!

I'm serious, that is the actual translation.

Since you're the mod and you're right, you could just move it yourself. Feel the power Smile.

There's senior mods now!? I thought we had just forum mods and admins. PM one of the staff members to ask if he can give you move permissions for your forum.

Well, mods have permission to move topics, unless somebody has removed your move permission or something is messed up with your permissions. Since we have no global mods you can only use your mod abilities within your forum. Have you tried using the mod cp (it's next to logt out next to your nick at the top of the page)?
