The motive here was to offer a translation of the full German manual (Hobby, not Professional), as I have seen that many on the Internet have commented that it would be nice to have. My impression is also that it would drop some barriers to potential customers who wish to delve deeper than the basic Engine manual. Having such a translation for personal use, I felt it would be decent to offer it to the community, working on the basic legal premise (pretty much the position of Google) of:
'Only the copyright owner can authorize a translation that will be distributed. This includes works that are translated into another language and distributed in parts of the world where that language is spoken.'
The document creation was via:
Firstly, setting aside a good half hour to do the task.
1 - Splitting, for free (
https://www.ilovepdf.com/split_pdf) the original German document (Hobby, not Professional) into equal parts where none were greater than 10Mb each.
2 - Translate each part from German to English using '
https://translate.google.com/' for free as the size limit of each file must be less than 10 MB.
3 - Merging all the translated parts in order to produce a complete English version of the full manual (Hobby, not Professional).
4 - A basic scanning of the finished document to find any major issues from the whole process.
The translation is by 'Google Machine Translation', so it is not perfect but at least for me it is a lifesaver. Apart from the translation by Google, there was no editing of the contents.
This is why I posted here, to seek such authorization (if possible) to distribute it freely to owners of ZUSI 3 to avoid any issues.
On a side note, when I attempted to see how much it would cost to translate the document (Hobby, not Professional) as one file, I saw estimates ranging from $1 (0.94 Euro) per page to $1200+ (1124 Euro)
