Topic: A surely Bohemian bowl and plinth

Hi Tony, as far as I know, the CD is exactly what we get here in German as subscribers of PK

[Sklounion]

The cost, as Seigmar points out, would be large (no, more accurately HUGE) at some 9-10 €cents per word, and those articles on processes and technological issues more likely to cost 15 €cents per word. Latest PK issues are @ 4-500 pages, and allowing 200 words, per page..... and issues dating back to 1998....
You would need a team of translators, copy-editors..... and someone to check that every translator was getting things correct.....

Page 6 of the Opava article, uses old German text...... so another more academic translator might well be required for that section.

No consortium would ever hope to recoup more than the smallest part of the costs of translation, never mind the fees paid to acquire the rights to produce an English language version.

It would, as you say, Tony, sell, but limited market, and I doubt many would want to pay @€100 or more per CD-Rom.

Without being rude, it would be cheaper to learn German.

Regards,

Marcus

Hi Macus
Thank you for your insite, a real wake up there as to the cost of my idea, I have thought of learning German and have tried once or twice with books. I might give it another try.

Congats on your book.

As far as I know: buying the CD (either Brockwitz or Walther) from Wayne: catalogue pages are same as in PK: four big ones on one DIN A 4 page
things got better since PK is available on CD - but all older PKs remain a nightmare and bigger size fax is out of offer
