international animal dictionary

[Beaumont]

i could provide the translations in Russian and Estonian.
however, there might be problems with the Russian lg, since we use cyrilic. if you have any suggestions how this problem can be solved....let me know, i`ll translate

Can you type a few words in Cyrillic just for testing? If Windows multilanguage supports is installed, maybe the letters can be viewed just by changing the encoding in Internet Explorer.

Ok!! now testing:

Лошадь
Осёл
Овца
Утка
Пчела

ok....just names of some animals....if that works let me know i`ll translate the rest with the sounds.

Don't be angry at me boubbie and latinus, I'm just trying to get the free book for myself, of course

Don't worry boubbie, I'll let it to you... I'll try to earn mine with the Swedish version

Sorry that I ruin it for you. After all I am Swedish so I'll give it in Swedish myself.

Well, that's fair...
When I think that I've been asking for a book for the kids at the library to do this translation At least, the librarian had a good laugh!
