Maybe you can take care of this? Spiff showed up in the old PR thread with some suggestions:

smiley - star"Bavarian christian social union" - I agree wants caps

I agree

smiley - star "Wildbad Kreuth" now became an official royal health-spa where Max frequently invited prominent members of the European nobility/aristocracy (or are we talking specifically about 'crowned heads of Europe?) to spend some time there taking the healing waters and enjoying an oil-massage. The site boasts many plaques and portraits commemorating its more illustrous visitors down the centuries, including the Russian Czar Nicolas I Petrovich. and re that Czar... Google threw up some confusing results, but in English i failed to find this specific Czar. It would be good to get the anglicised version of his name here.

Yes we're talking about crowned heads. And the Czar's name in English is "Nicholas I"

smiley - star"Since 1988, after the building had become restaurated and expanded yet again" - 'become restaurated' = been restored

smiley - starHiking trails are well-signalized - 'signposted' could be better here.

I hope you have time and patience to sort these out.

Thanks,

HELL

Hi Hell,

I'm in the process of editing this now and will work on the points mentioned above.

I also have a question of my own:

You say;

>>> under the condition that he should never let the bath "wilt".

What does 'Wilt' mean?

Cheers, my friend. smiley - ok

Hello Ashley, thanks for doing this. How do you decide which Entries go to a subbie and which you do yourselves? Or is there a subbie shortage. Seems to be a lot of work. But smiley - cheers anyways. No-one said life is easy...

Now...

"wilt" means when a plan does not get enough water and dies. That's the word that was on the contract, in German "eingehen" I am not good at translating - as you can see. It means that he could buy the bath, under the condition that he kept it working. Maybe there is a better 'phrase' or idiom for that in English... If not, just write it out as I suggested above: "...under the condition that he would not neglect the bath and kept it working."

I hope it helped. Thank you very much, Ashley.

We often take entries in house when the scouts have been prolific. When we do, we just take which ever entries the system decides to allocate us. smiley - smiley

Thank you for the translation, I'll add an idiom instead of 'wilt' with your permission, so as not to disrupt the flow of the entry.

smiley - cheers
