Title: Question for Kowal
Post by: Stormrider on May 10, 2008, 08:07:37 am

Hi, Kowal. I'm trying to translate some tables from your webpage into Spanish. Could you please translate the words in red into English? This is the html doc: http://www.alvarezeninternet.com/temp/translate.html (http://www.alvarezeninternet.com/temp/translate.html)

Joystick (4-8 Ways) Spring Action na mikroprzełącznikach XG (battop-87mm)
Joystick (4-8 Ways) Spring Action na mikroprzełącznikach X3 (battop-87mm)

What brand of microswitches do you mean with XG and X3? The standard switches sold with Spring Action stick by IL is Saia.

I think I understand some of them:
rotacja: kind of rotary behaviour
kwadrat: squared
romb: rhombus
droga: distance?
kat: angle????
angaz: engagement (distance to the switch button)
rzut: total throw of the stick
centrowanie: maybe the return to center behaviour?

Thanx a lot!!

Thanx a lot to both. I'm translating this into Spanish for a compact version of the table, just featuring the most popular sticks here in Spain, also attaching pictures of the sticks for those who are not very familiar with them and do not remember easily the model names. It will be part of the webpage in which I present my new control panel. I hope I have your permission, Kowal, to use this data...?

By the way, Kowal, your webpage must have some kind of code or malware. For some reason I get a random-named .exe file in C:\ which only appears as soon as I enter your website. It's not detected as a virus by my software, but who knows... Maybe this has to do with some problems I've had with my firewall, so I suspect there's some virus there.
