jsjkr Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have a friend living in germany who would like to start geocaching. However when I checked the cache page for her area, it's all in German. Is there a way to translate the page for Internation hunters? I am new to this also.. but I am trying to help her get started! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment

Thanks!! I usually use Alta Vista's Babelfish translator: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ . Or Google Language tools: http://www.google.com/language_tools . There are several other free online translation web sites. Just check Google. Quote Link to comment
+FamDa Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Or check with the owner. I have the same issue with our neighbours. Translations do not always work specially if the owner played with words. Quote Link to comment
+Lizard-King Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi there, a lot of German cachers offer an english translation of their cache descriptons on demand. If you have Problems with any paticular cache I can help you with the translation. Greetings, Chris Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I found babelfish very useful on my recent trip to Switzerland. For both German & French. Just make sure you add a "space" between words etc. as some don't get translated. Also means a lot more prep before heading out. Quote Link to comment
