Nice, but... Oct 22, 2002

...take care with special characters (like æ, ø and å in Danish; the same might happen in other languages also). They tend to either disapear or show up as some kind of symbol.



It is helpful and easy to use, though.



Best,



Anna

indeed Oct 22, 2002

after posting the link I realised I\'m having troubles with the specific Romanian letters. I think there\'s a way to avoid that, haven\'t figured it out yet, though

Auto-correcting! Oct 22, 2002

Dear Anna Louise,



The program does not cause problems, but converts sloppily written Danish letters into proper HLMT code!

problem solved Oct 28, 2002

The author of Cat´s Cradle was very nice and helped out with the problem, which was not really a problem. In order to get the specific letters for your language to appear as such in the translated text all you have to do is go to file>options>target language font>choose and choose the right one for your language. I hope this helps others that are as IT talented as I am....(not!).

Raluca

Thank you to both of you. Oct 29, 2002

I hadn\'t imagined that the solution was so easy. I better learn to ask for help before judging!



Best,



Anna
