I also hope this gets done but I "walk slowly" when I don't exercise, I live at a normal pace. I am reminded of the American saying "don't ask what your country can do for you but what you can do for it" or words to that effect. You have done a brilliant job Surajit ji, thank you on behalf of the group. Now we have to wait for other contributors to fill the blanks in other languages. I wished I had such a tool 15 years ago, let's hope we don't have to wait this long. I'll prepare a table in the next few hours. Come on folks give us some words ... or tell us where we can find them easily. Let us do a better job than all the WWW automatic robots which are great at translating words but not so great with plant names. Cheers Mic
