[lace] Book Translations
Does anyone know of translations to English of any of the following books" Withof Duchesseby Trude v.d. Heijden-Biemans, Yvonne Scheele-Kerkhof, and Puck Smelter-Hoekstra La Dentelle Dduchesse #2 by Mick Fouriscot and Leona Parfait-Laitem La Dentelle Duchesse Initiationâ by Mick Fouriscot and Leona Parfait-Laitem I am trying to finish up a piece I started in a class Susie Johnson (I think it was). There are very few nots from the class and I believe I bought the books at the same convention. Any help would be appreciated. I have challenged myself to finish the pieces on several (way too many) pillows in my hobby room.

[lace] Book translations
Agnes wrote: As a professional translator and interpreter, I would like to point out how expensive it is to get a book or article professionally translated. Many books on very specific topics, such as lace and history, will sell a limited number of copies, so translating these would make them prohibitively expensive. I totally agree with Agnes. I had the biography of Sister Judith after I had written it in Dutch, translated into English by a professional translator. That and the cost of the printing are enormous. And this is only a 'simple' book. I will have to sell more books than I probably will to cover the costs! I really wanted to let as many people as possible hear about Sister Judith's life and that makes it worth it. That and the nice comments I get by the readers! When there are enough lacemakers and historians who want a book like Brugge en Kant translated, I think they have to put together the money first and then go to Martine Bruggeman and her publisher. Too bad, but that's the way it is.

Re: [lace] Book translations
There has been a lot of discussion of translating. i am sure we all agree it would be ideal to have all books in our own native tongues. a while back, one of our dedicated members was collecting translations of words in different languages. i do not have the info at hand, but has anyone contributed to that collection of words lately?
