It sounds like a fun project, Lesterlesterb wrote:Been having a different experience. The Muddy Creek Library and Museum sent me a transcript of a talk done in PA German. They had translated it into English but wanted me to edit it. That made me shift down a few gears. The transcript was done in phonetic spelling and sometimes I had to read it out loud to get it.
Interesting content too. If you are inclined to enjoy history, and get to PA, it would be worthwhile stopping in. I saw their collection 30 years or so ago, while Amos Hoover still had it, but I'm sure it has grown vastly since then.

That's interesting, Lester. Several months ago I was asked by a local Regional Police department if I would consider translating their 'Police Relations With the Public' handbook into the local Pennsylvania German dialect. They want to make the handbook available in at least most of the non-English languages used in the region hoping to make a better contact with the ESL people.lesterb wrote:Been having a different experience.
