The translation was an issue outside of Volker's control and is far from ideal. With hindsight, Volker has said to me that he wishes he had submitted his text in his English for subsequent polishing rather than in German and have the text translated in very stilted English as it's a technical subject requiring some depth of underlying knowledge.

I can appreciate the text as it stands might be something which might put off the casual reader but the diehards should be able to extract the required information. At the price being quoted in the offer, it's surely worth the plunge, particularly for those in this country.
