how to register for news.individual.net??? it's in German???

hi all,

I've used news.individual.net for many years, and now I'm
trying to subscribe for the pay service. During the registration
process, it send you to a screen which is written in German, to
enter your credit card data. So far as I can tell, in my
high-school-hogans-heroes-level German, it's asking for an
id name and password, but I can't be certain.

Anybody have any clue what's going on here, or any
German speakers present?

It's a good service, well worth paying for in my opinion,
but I would kinda like to know what I'm signing up for.

Set up your Firstgate account before you set up your individual.net
account - that way, you have control over the language.

You will when you go to the payment screens. When you get there, select USA
and English from the combo boxes, and all will be in perfect English.

hello,

I think it is rude of them to just have it in German. If they want me to
use their system and be a paying customer, I want the pages in English or I
will just go elsewhere.

Idiotic attitude.

I'll bet you're American.

Try use translating webproxy babel.altavista.
Put just before german url

"http://www.X.de/Y"

little complex prefix:

"http://babel.altavista.com/urltrurl?lp=de_en&url=,"

so you will have:

"http://babel.altavista.com/urltrurl?lp=de_en&url=http://www.X.de/Y"

It will translate it for you on the fly...

Better yet, simply follow the "English Version" link at the bottom of
the page in question...
For this particular goal it is for sure better.
I intended my reply more as general advice
for reading non english pages in english.
(for common languages change "lp=de_en" to "lp=xx_en"

Excelent for this is using MyIE2 ( or Maxthon ) as IE frontend.
There are menu tools for such translations.
