    3. I must agree with Barbara concerning the so called translation programs that are available on line. My experience has not been at all good and I will pass along one little tid-bit that came from one of those programs. I recently wrote a letter in English and put it into one of the programs to be translated to German. Beside the usual jibberish which made little sense at all, I noticed one particular phrase which kept occurring frequently---"Iron oh". After reading the letter several times, I finally learned what was happening. The original English letter made mention, in several instances to "Eisenach" the German city. The translator broke Eisenach up into two words: Eisen---iron and ach---oh After that experience, I am now doing the translations myself. My translations couldn't be any worse. Frank Kuhn
