Hi all,

Tom and I have been approached by CA member Jannik Pallesen aka danishmarshal who has asked us for permission to translate the guide into Danish for those Danes at Le Mans which are not so fluent in English. Assuming that this will be also strictly non-commercial and that the Danish version will also be downloadable from the CA website I actually welcome this idea. It could give CA more publicity and probably there could also be more contributions to the guide in the future.

But this is just my personal opinion and since the CA Guide is the work of many of us I would like to get some feedback before giving an OK for this.

Your opinions, please!

No objections here

I only contributed a tiny bit, but no objections here either.

Yep, certainly no objections from me.

What's the downside?  I don't see one.

We probably need to be absolutely certain to get the Danish legal-ese paragraph bang on though.

I think this is a great idea.

I have been reading the guide for at cople of years now, and also used it in planning my trips, but for those firsttimers to LeMans going throw all this information in english can be a bit hard.

Let me know if you want some help with this.

First class idea.

An excellent idea, methinks.

After all, how are we supposed to reach true Vikingesque levels of depravity and mortal sin on our annual sojourn to La Belle France if our Viking brethren are unable to read from the Holy Book of La Sarthe (online edition)?

Very good idea.

Spread the word - no issues from me!

At the end of the day we are motorsport enthusiasts, if we can help others understand the vagaries of LM24 then why not. The guide has not been selfishly produced and is for the benefit of all. I would suggest letting them do it and hosting the final version on our site with the hope that if they turn up and download it they may then contribute to our charities.

So YES.

I can't get to discuss this with my intellectual property lawyer in New York till the end of next week ::)

Fine by me, but do the Danes really need any more encouragement ;)

I checked the guide a few times and that may be pushing it a bit  ;)



ahhhhhh Danish,

and nobody has mentioned about bringing home the bacon ;D


But more importantly, was is the tipple of the Danes?

Go for it, the more folks who can benefit the better.

In my opinion, and I think Perdu will not dissent, it is worth mentioning the score tonight was 2-1 to England with both our goals from the Villa boys.

Publish and be damned!! ;)

I think last nights football shows that we could need some help from you guys, then hopefully we would be better in Le Mans than on the footballground.

ohh..... maybe i shoudent have mentioned this........

but hopefully the 25 - 35000 danes who comes every year can have some benefit from reading the guide and maybe also make a donation.

Nor would another Brummie either....

MG Mark

Indeed

I do agree Andy and Mark, naturally

(BBC local news last night ended the sports section with
Denmark 1.. Aston Villa 2. Raised a chuckle :) )

As to a Dansk version of the guide, seems like a great idea whose time has come

Go for it

Well, looking at the feedback up to now I think this is set.

@Tom: Could you set up a seperate Danish space in the wiki? Our should our Danish friends jsut create their pages in parallel to the existing ones? I think it would be good if they could use the wiki, so they can share the translation work amongst them.

Cheers

Werner
