Hi John,

I was wondering whether you could post the translated help file you created.
I'm sure others here would also find it extremely useful give that
PhotoFiltre is one of those freeware gems!

Thanks for making the translation :-)

Jane, I'm afraid that without the program author's permission, that
would be very inappropriate. After all, the two files are part of the
program. I've submitted the main help file to Antonio Da Cruz, the
program author, and it's up to him as to whether or not my translation
of that file meets his approval. He hasn't gotten back to me on that yet.
On the other hand, I did also finish translating the PhotoMasque
filter plugin help file today, but I'm waiting for Antonio to tell me
that he wants me to send it to him (I emailed him that I'd finished
that translation also, yesterday I sent him the main help file).
Sending unannounced file attachments via email to strangers is not a
way to make friends, so I wait until he tells me that he wants me to
send a file.

Oh, come on John, I'm sure your translation will beat Googles!
A sample of which I have included below:

PhotoFiltre Version 5.4 (In french only At the moment) Availability of
the filters and the Réglage menus of l?image Outil of selection Pallets
Insérer tools Assembler text Réaliser out images a dissolve d?images
Réduire the effects red eyes Couleur of transparency Formats d?import
and transparency Formats d?export Automatisation Modulates PhotoMasque
Modules external Raccourcis Enregistrement keyboard Annexes Availability
of the filters and the menus the filters as certain menus are available
only in 16 million colors without l?option of transparency (because the
majority recompute and modify the colors). It is the case for example
images GIF and images in indexed colors mode. If you do not n?avez
access to these menus made the following operations: Carry out the
order "Image/Couleur of transparency" (in the event of transparent
image) then click on the option "To decontaminate the transparency"?
Carry out the order "Image/Mode/16 million colors" Adjustment of l?image
the buttons of the bar d?outils allowing d?ajuster the luminosity,
contrast and the saturation of colors is intended for precision
adjustments. If your image is too dark or too clear, you must d?abord
carry out a correction gamma with l?aide corresponding menu or buttons.
Tool for PhotoFiltre selection manages two types of selection. The
first type gathers the automatic forms (rectangle, ellipse, triangle,
rhombus). The second type corresponds to the lasso modes and polygon.
They allow both to define a form personalized by drawing contour by a
show of hands or by a succession of lines. Each selection can be
safeguarded in a file to be re-used later on via the orders of small

I'm sure you agree, this is Googledegook!

Fred,
Heh. There is more to language translation than a mere word for
word conversion, although that's one of the tools you need to use in
addition to an online translation service.
But how would you feel if you wrote a program and somebody started
circulating modified versions of some of its files without asking you?
Outside of that being just plain rude, it's a violation of most EULAs.
That's why I've sent the files to Antonio for his approval. And now
there's good I just got a reply from him and he wants to include
my translations in the English version of the program. So maybe look
for it in version 5.5 or sooner?
