peer agreement (net): +1Dear lizza Explanation: somehow, our communication has got tangled. If I have contributed to the situation, please accept my apologies. I am sure that all of us are trying to find a solution for your problem. Since you have been registered at ProZ since June 2002 and have had a large number of questions answered, I am also sure that you 'know the ropes'. I will try and explain my thoughts regading your Plano: Quite often, when a colleague is having difficulties with a text, it turns out that she/he is not dealing with the original text but with a translation. For example, I was asked to translate a patent that was in English. The English was OK, but the original patent had been filed in Japan, as was evidenced by lots of Japanese characters in the drawings with hand-written translations. That is the reason for me asking about the inventor's name & country in the header. Should it turn out that you are in fact not working with the original text, and it is possible to find out the source language, a colleague with the corresponding language pair might be able to do some reverse translation and find an explanation for 'Plano'. If you do not have a copy of the patent (i.e. no header), perhaps the patent attorney can shed some light on the matter of source language. That is why it was suggested you contact the client. I hope this helps calm down any ruffled feelings ;-) Greetings, John |
