| Note from asker to answererThank you for this. I will use this translation (and reference your suggestion, if you don't mind!)to see what the feedback is. South African English is closer to UK English so, as Werner Hehn wrote, it's possible that it won't be recognised. But I'm curious - and I like this translation.
