    As far as re-creating the docs goes, there are literally
    hundreds of them, the result of thousands of hours of
    design-time. I would hope that there is some way to get a
    more accurate translation, without having to re-create
    them all.

    Thanks for your reply, and any further insights or
    information would be most appreciated.
