Ver.A Front Spoiler

[TheForce]

I just got my Ver.A Front Spoiler from Sigma today and the instructions are in Japanese. The pictures are very detailed and I think I could do the job from just the pictures but I would like to have the Instructions translated to English if possible. I will need the instructions translated by July 3rd because thats when i'm going to be doing the installation. I cant really offer any money for your time but I would give you full credit for the translation. If you live in the USA I could send you a Hybrid Synergy Drive keychain for free if you like. Or maybe we can work something out as payment? Maybe even a little money if it comes to that. I will need everything in the instructions translated except for of course the numbers. I can read those. Well some of them. I cant count past 5.

Here is a link to the Japanese instructions.

As usual when I ask for help I always find a way to do it or fix it myself.

I think I found a way to translate it myself using Kanji OCR and Babel Fish.

I might still need some help translating so if you can help me please let me know.

If I get the document fully translated I will post the results for others to use.

I'm only on my 2nd year of Japanese. Not nearly enough to help you out.

Could you tell me where at the Sigma site the spoiler is, all I could find was the flex spoiler and it doesn't look like the one in your pdf instructions. I think I might want to buy one also.

Sorry no Japanese, I can't even remember how to order a beer.

Its actually the very first product listed on the site. Don't know how you could miss it. Row one column one not counting the column on the very left. Sigma

OK thanks I got it. I was at the wrong Sigma site.

the force,

I did the same thing for a translation into spanish and into chinese using a combination of babel fish and something else (I thought it was just babel fish but when I went back to the website just now I didn't recognize it at all, hmmm). I had it checked by my sons spanish teacher and she made about 10 changes in a 200 work document, but most seemed to be endings, and one turn around of a phrase using the same words.

The chinese was checked by a mandarin teacher that uses our church and she said, "Looks good to me!" LOL

OK so I tried to translate it my self and here is the result.

Most of it translated. The stuff that did not translate was either not translatable or obvious of what it said. I would say %85 of the document does not make sense. 5% is funny ( but most translations are ) 5% is readable and 5% did not translate. I would still like to have this translated in to something thats a little more readable. I also did this as a rush job and did not make many corrections.

Yes, when I translated it just like theforce I got the same results.....lol

Here's a little I can help you with, and I've asked the other. Some of it is just learning the Japanese phonetic alphabet which is about 26 letters in 2 forms, so not that much to learn to sound out words. Probably easier to translate Chinese because Japanese uses too many phonetically spelt borrow words. I spaced the katakana/romanji words so you can see how it translates into English.
