Translation

Thanks to Michaelis Vasilakis for featuring the blog on http://blog.vasilakism.gr . He has offered to translate into Greek for the benefit of those who do not understand English.

Translation is an interesting area. When we print our information books for the municipality, why not ask a British/German/French resident to read it before it goes to the printer? God knows there are enough native speakers in the area who would be happy to do it without asking for payment.

The "English" on the (2004) website is terrible. I can only assume that the same applies to other languages.

We have a Foreign Residents Committee (I.N.C.O) http://www.inconews.com/ . If they spent more time helping with translations and less time pretending to be actors, or folk dancing and singing, perhaps they would be of more use to the city and have a little more respect from the citizens...............
