Hi! Sorry, I can't give you the right Norwegian translation but dock may refer to many things in English but also in French. I think that the first meaning is the dock for ships but here it's more a dock in computing (a docking station). But I think that 'dokk' is a good translation just because it looks like the original word :) . 'Dock' is maybe a word which is not translatable in a few languages.
BTW, thank you for your help ;) Matth 2010/6/17 Espen K <[email protected]> > Hi! > > Lately I've helped out a little by doing some translation work on your > excellent cairo dock.
