   Hello Martin!

   I think Grammarly works the same way. It "learns" (or rather,     
   retains) the corrections you make and then remembers them the     
   next time a word or set of words are used in context.   
      
   I found another online translator.  Here is the TOC using DeepL:

   Do you see anything amiss above?   
      
   DeepL will allow 5000 chars per translation.   
      
      
    MF> Nice idea, are you volunteering :-))   
      
   I would suggest that we can split the effort between several of     
   us OpenXP users, post the translation results in the XPOINT echo     
   and tweek where necessary to produce the final result.   
      
   The fido.txt file is about 133,400 chars. That would be about 27     
   chunks of txt (or visits) to DeepL at a time.  We could assign     
   three people to do 10 x 5000 char chunks at a time.   
      
   We could assign a couple of weeks to critique the translation     
   result for each section.   
      
   Many hands make light work!  ;)
