Screen Readable Copy of Hoke's Book

[Yggdrasil]

Have you proofread it to make sure the translation is accurate, and do you have someone else who can also proofread it?

For this Gøran would have been ideal.

You read my mind there @Yggdrasil

@FrugalRefiner, I’ve got to do that a bit closer, as we say in Sweden “-Rome wasn’t built in a day”. I will scan it manually again.

Maybe I can see through it.
Swedish and Norwegian are not that different.

Of course @Yggdrasil. I agree with you

Göran is still a member in good standing, and he's very familiar with Hoke's book. I don't know if he will have the time to devote, but you can always send him a PM to ask.

I have sent a PM to Gøran.

Maybe if more English as a second language folks here see the first translation into
Swedish, they will be driven by translation envy and motivated to get the book into more different translations.

While very true, I find the technical terms when working with similar languages is the hard part. I have that issue with Danish vs Faroese. My wife ran into the same issue with medical terms. We were both fortunate to have a nephew and his partner to help on the differences.

Good I can also call him later today.

@Yggdrasil, we'll have to proofread you and I cross-check, as some technical terms that we both know differ between Swedish/Norwegian, such as "yellow bend" (banana) and "periscope horse" (giraffe).
I know that Norwegian has equivalent words for some Swedish "technical terms" too.
(Internal joke between Norway/Sweden for a long time)

Maybe because Norwegian Iclandic and Farose is in the same language group. Vest Nordic as Danish and Swedish is in the East Nordic group.
Strangely young Swedes and Danes do not understand eachothers.
I often found myself as interpreter between them in my youth.
I attribute that most to a unwillingness to try.

You can also try StellaPolaris, he is a Swede and lives in Oslo.
He might be a very good choice if Gøran says no.

I have started a conversation thread, check your DM
I didn’t choose to put the Swedish version here, before it’s proofread and in OK-status.

At first, I will just convert and format the PDF book to HTML.
But in the future, I will mark the technical terms and include a glossary, so that it is possible to see the meaning just by clicking on the term.
The terms will not be translated, they will just point to the explanation.
