    Anybody speak Swedish?

    No, I'm not trying to figure out what the Swedish chef was saying, but I picked up a few books that looked in very good condition to sell on Amazon. One I found the listing for (thankss to an ISBN number), but the other two are similarly titled books that I can't find listed on my usual book selling spots. I'm trying to find someone who can translate the titles so I can check further. PM if you speak Swedish.

    thanks.

    They didn't have Swedish there. Unfortunately since I don't have the umlaut on my keyboard, the Babelfish translator isn't picking up the words correctly. I think they're a two volume set about the IUWAFA, the Food & Allied Workers union.

    One of my good friends is Swedish. Can you PM me the link and I'll forward it to him and find out what it says?

    Maybe you already know this stuff, but just in case:

    If you're using Windows XP or older, click on the 'Start' button and then click on 'Run...'. After that, type 'charmap'. In here, you can select letters with umlauts (and other various characters) and copy them to your clipboard. Finally, paste the letters into a translator (like the one below) and then translate away. I hope this helps.

    Actually I didn't know it was that simple to get to the Character Map, but I have used it for German - it's just tedious and I was being lazy.

    But thanks.

    The only things Swedish that comes to mind is meatballs and the Bikini Team. And Mats Sundin.

    (lets see, food, ladies, and hockey. Yep, sounds about right)
    Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
