folks
Have a friend who just bought a Bulldog (build in Scotland but originally
sold to the Swedes) that has the entire panel and equipment list
published/marked in Swedish. Anybody out there who could possibly translate
the stuff for him. The DAR isn't going to license it until the placards are
all in English and also the Equipment List is in English. Please contact me
(in English) at .
Thnx

Here is a free online Swedish to English translator:

I've never used it, but you might try it.

I would think though that there are some technical terms that might not
translate well. I would think you should talk to a Swedish pilot that
speaks English (almost everyone in Sweden speaks english--surely all
the pilots do).

I know in Spanish, rudders are calle "push pedals" and so forth. Things
don't alway translate well unless you KNOW the language, though you can
usually figure it out.
