Fun with Technisches Deutsch!

Yesterday I sent my 'pre-review'/recommendations regarding a New High Resolution Lunar Atlas (German - Fotografischer Mondatlas to the editor of Cambridge University Press. Not only was he pleased with my write-up, but I got to 1) keep the awesome atlas and 2) get credit for $150 worth of new book swag

1) Yeah for shinies!

Woo Hoo.... :)

2) If you all take on this challenge, and want a technical writer to just read it over afterwards to make sure it really makes sense, I would be happy to volunteer. :)

This has been the ONE things my professors love about me. They have to do alot of translating for thier projects and such, and sometimes they don't even catch the interesting, HUH? Am I reading that right?

*All I would want in return is book credit, ie - edited by-line if that's even possible. Or just a thank you. I can add it to my CV later.

W00t! A paying writing gig for Herr Doktor! The resume fodder doesn't suck either.

Most excellent indeed. I hope the translation work pans out for you!

And, as always, Yay for the shinies!

[kth_dragon]

Oooh, good luck with the book! *fingers crossed*
