- Although I am a german, I will never buy books which are translated into
- german because most of them are translated so badly, that you have to know
- the english translation to understand it !
- Sometimes the german translation arrives and the software they are
- describing is already out-of-date. This happened, e.g., with a book for
- MS-Windows 2.1 programmers which arrived one week before MS-Windows 3.0 was
- sold in Europe !
- There are some reasons why I prefer the original english books.
-
- Thank you for your hint, anyway.
