Done a second pass through the text.

Bolded the topic headings, italicized the commentary text

It's not laid out like SbD. It's the whole thing in one big document.

That was the easy part.

Now I have to copy the images out of the .ru version and plonk them into the .en one, and hope they all stay put, because sometimes they don't. Pages be like that.

All I did to the original was put a cover on it, sufficiently different to the SbD Classic Edition, on which is it based, albeit an earlier version. It's obviously a derivative work.

When I drop these, the Russian version will likely go into the LOTE (Languages Other Than English) section, and the English version will appear as part of the main Library. It's all part of the Main, just different sections.

There's not much in LOTE, pity really, it's a neglected branch. I don't have the time or inclination to push everything through Google Translate, some of them were complex builds. And then I have no idea into what languages they'd need to be translated, I'd do Klingon for shits and giggles if it was there. SbD in Klingon would probably kill you in ritual combat if you didn't follow it's edicts.

I guess if anyone wanted to have a go at something, I could certainly provide the texts. Though things would need to be proof-read, to fix Google's screw-ups. I know there would not be many willing to do that, if someone did, you know I'd give you due credit.

Back to it, I guess. Sooner begun, sooner done.

Nick
