Thank you, Liz. The problem is not if the translation is easy or not. I wanted to know your opinion on the "copy protect" issue. It's not "copy protected" as it should be, so I did not know what form to use. Sorry if I bothered YOU BOTH. Or maybe I am not a serious translator (or maybe I am not ANY sarious translator) Thanks anyway, contact me if you need any help.
