Amazing, spent 40 years learning a language (badly) and now if you can scan, you can translate. Fortunately there are a few items which won't work with google translate - photographed articles, catalogs, etc. such as the simplex catalog posted above. You have to translate those items the old way.
Still looking at the advances google has made in their translation program it's pretty amazing. Every person on this board, even if not on chrome (and I'm not), can still scan a text, go to google translate, paste in the text and a darned good translation will appear.
But no matter - still be careful of technical terms. "Pièce d’armement", "Gâchette interruptrice" or "gâchette d'armement" does not = "arming trigger".
