I use the following translator web page besides my Slovene/English dictionary. It is http://www.tranexp.com:2000/InterTran Also, when you look at a word break it up and translate each part separately. Slovenia has been under the rule of most of the surrounding countries at one time or another. The language of the document will be determined by who ruled them at that time. In some cases you might even try Italian as Trieste was at one time part of Slovenia. Also on some documents it may be Latin. Mary >From: [email protected] (Phyllis J.
