Ever notice how the tiniest problems are often the most difficult to
solve? I hope this post isn't too off topic, but I'm running out of time
to get a software change done for a translated hardware manual I'm
working on. I need a word in French--one measly word--"HOLD". Two people
have kindly given me the infinitive (tenir=to hold, which I already
knew), but I need the imperative (you) hold. Maybe they don't know the
difference between the two forms? <sigh>
For example:
In English:
HOLD SET ALERTS FOR AUTO
PRESS SET ALERTS TO EXIT
In French:
PRESS REG ALRMS P AUTO
PRESS REG ALRMS P SORTIR
The first "PRESS" in French should be "HOLD." We have room for
only seven characters. I'm on digest, so please e-mail me directly.
Merci in advance,
