Terry,
The translations on Hermann Historica obviously are from a translation engine, perhaps "babelfish" or "Dictionary.com". Doesn't do too bad but has to depend on common literal translation. Hence "Lauf" becomes "run" instead of barrel, etc. Gets most of the information across but makes for some amusing reading. Thank you for presenting a much clearer translation, and also for several other translations you have posted. I wish my German was as fluent as yours (I wish my English was as good also!)
