can anyone translate german?

[EddyH]

I'm slightly embarrased to ask this as it will probably come out as "burn CD, insert into player and wait for All Done message", but...

SM Electronic's website, shockingly for a german company selling stuff in a german branded supermarket chain, only has their firmware upgrade instructions in fairly deep and colloquial german (to my frazzed, school textbook languaged brain). Naturally, I tried to babelfish it, and almost inevitably, the output was a mixture of NY taxi driver, frozzgargle, and randomly capiTALISED but readable english... but it made less sense than the original..

So, I'm going to take a leap of faith and hope that out of thousands of people who look at these forums (going by poll vote turnouts!), there's got to be at least one or two who will look in this forum, have a kind heart, and are bilingual in english and german.

I've got the general jist of random phrases (Update fur 2500... die player startet dann neu) but as ever, both God and the devil are in the details. With something as critical as a firmware over-write, it pays to be totally sure.


Without further ado, ladies and gents could you please tell the ajudicators what the flarging heck THIS means


Update für 2500

Brennen Sie die BIN Datei einzeln auf eine CD-R (ISO Format, SINGLESESSION, KEIN CD NAME)
Schalten Sie Ihren DVD Player ein
Legen Sie die Update CD ein
Wählen Sie im Menü für das Update Complete bzw. Komplett aus
Wenn die CD ausfährt entnehmen Sie die CD sofort
Lassen Sie den Player (bis max 10min) stehen und warten Sie bis der Player das Update durchgeführt hat. Der Player startet dann neu.


SM Electronic übernimmt keinerlei Haftung für Schäden die durch Benutzung des Updates aufteten.

THE TRANSLATION AS FOLLOW:

Update for 2500

Burn the individual BIN files into one CD-R (ISO Format, SINGLESESSION, NO CD NAME)
Turn your DVD Player on
Insert the Update CD you just burned
In Menu: Select "Update Complete" or "Komplett"
REMOVE CD IMMEDIATELY upon CD's ejection
Leave the player alone and wait (max 10 minutes) until update finished
Restart the player


Hope above will help.

JS1604 did a good translation job. It's just the last line might mislead you. Instead of reading "Restart the player" it should read "The player will restart". (This should happen in less than the above-mentioned 10 minutes)

Something you might find usefull for future use. If you use IE6 goto google.com, and d/l the google toolbar. Once installed you can right click any web page, and choose "Translate into English" from the menu. The page will reload translated. You will still have slight weirdness with verbs and stuff ie "Over the fence pig throw" but it does a really good jub, It has helped me with all kinds of downloads, even news and how to articles.
