Hire a translator if you want it done right. (Mistranslating something could
be dangerous.)

So right! I still have an FM transmitter with a translated manual,
containing '...if there is a borad casting on an immediate canal...'

My brother has several guys working under him who do are not
English-speaking. He's been having a heck of a time getting signs created
for the machinery at work. He is already wearing a huge scar from a steam
scald and can only count to about 4¼ on one hand. And he *does* read
English! (Or at least he's capable of doing so. If he did, he'd still be
counting up to 5.) He asked me about translation software a while back and I
advised him against it. People can get seriously hurt, or worse, in his
plant. That is one area where you don't need funky translations.

For anything official, or where it is very important to get a message
across, do NOT ever use an online translator..

And make sure you get it translated so the people reading it can understand
it. High Castilian Spanish may be near unintelligible to a border-slang
worker with a low education level. (That's not a slam - just an observation
from someone who's live a stone's throw from our southern border for 30
years, as well as a very real consideration for legal and safety
considerations.)

Embezzling sleep?? I would like to learn how to do that, especially since
I've had some problems with insomnia lately.

I love these, Jay. Thanks for posting them again. I love the concept of
"embezzling" sleep. Although I suspect it's really only borrowed.
