Great Olive resource - anyone speak Spanish?

Post by karraway2 »

I came across a pdf of a book detailing the bonsai of Olives. The illustrations and instructions appear to be extremely good and a great walk through especially for newbies such as myself. As a result i thought i would share this with you all. The only catch is that the book is in Spanish, but if anyone here knows a way i can try to auto recognise the text so i can throw it into google translations it would be very useful.

In any rate i think the illustrations alone are enough to provide some valuable information.

Here is the link to the pdf: http://www.4shared.com/office/2jStTgnx/ ... livos.html

Cheers

I downloaded the file and have run it through a .pdf optical character recognition process, so now you can select the text and drop it into google translate . . . . . it takes some time to work through it like this, but it's a step in the right direction. I am not aware of any copyright issues on the book from what I can see, so I'm happy to e-mail the OCR'ed file to anyone who wants it. It is about 9Mb, so PM me if interested.

Cheers,

Andrew
