Hi
 It should be fun running it back through a translator
to English.
 I often look at Italian post on Olivetti M20's. The Italian
word for "files" ( used many times in most post ) gets translated
to "rows". It took me a long time to figure out how this
resulted. Then I realized, it is confused with how solders
are positioned on a parade field ( rank and file ) with what
we refer to as a file.
