(concerning converting RDH4/other books to PDF) For any of you that
happen to be in non-natively-English-speaking locales--what is the
best method for providing for multilingual translation of a PDF? I am
supposing that peoples who don't speak English might be interested in
the material. I can guess that tranlsation software can accept common
Word or RTF file formats


IIRC, the pdfs are just image files and won't work translation
software.


Yes but I am re-generating the entire book as digitized text, in Word
docs, and then re-building a PDF.....


Holy, you're dedicated!

At the speed I type, I'd be faster building a pyramid :-o

Are you gonna Open-Source it?


I am not sure whether he is starting it from page 1 and then slowly
but surely going through to page 1,600++.

But surely some of RDH4 would be best left till last,
and the audio sections done first.

But if ever it is done as a html doc, links can be established,
so references to another chapter simply clicked
and the reader surfs the reference, then back to the
page of the link to continue his read.....

I can see many versions of the RDH4 evolving if its in an editable text form,

and complete with modern additions, and then deletions, and then we haven't
got
is RDH4 anymore, maybe NBG10.

But of course somebody might leave it exactly as is, but add to it, with no
mistakes,
and with links, and you might have VFG5.
