At the Department of National Defense, where I work, we have a whole team of
linguists - they translate everything from Serbo-Croatian to Russian to
Spanish! Their department is called the CFTMPC - "Canadian Forces Training
Material Preparation Centre".

Since they are just down the stairs from me, I will try to get 'em to do a
bit of "translatin" for our foreign listees.

BTW: Anybody ever see the movie "Three Days of the Condor"?

Cheers!
