HELP NEEDED FROM OVERSEAS LIST MEMBERS!

Hi everyone,

This is a request for help from any list members (overseas or not) who
have
good knowledge of certain languages ("I speak two: English and
Profane...").

For the fleet background in the Fleet Book, I need some ACCURATE
translations of certain terms - some I could do from dictionaries, but
this
kind of translation is notoriously unsafe (and highly amusing for native
speakers...)

The translations needed are:

Navy (or Fleet)

Space Navy/Space Fleet/Space Force (whatever term would be most likely
to
be used in the given language)

plus any translations of ship type names (Cruiser, Destroyer, Battleship
etc.) and Naval Ranks (officers and ratings) from the relevant national
navies (ie: present-day counterparts).

I need these in a) German, for the NSL; b) French (and maybe Italian as
well) for the FSE; c) Russian and/or Chinese for the ESU.

I think I know a few people who speak American... :)

If anyone can help with any of these, I'd be very grateful; please note
that I need them to be as "correct" as possible, so ideally they need to
be
from native speakers or at least someone very fluent - I don't need just
literal translations, but need to know what words/phrases a native
speaker
would use.

Please either email them to me personally if you're sure about the
translations, or to the list (if no-one objects) if you want other
members'
opinions on them first!

BTW, if anyone would like to contribute similar translations in any
other
languages, for forces such as the Islamics (maybe Iranian?), Japanese
defence fleet, Pan-Africans, Scandinavian Federation (Swedish?), New
Israelis etc., these would be gratefully received as well for future
use.....

Thanks in anticipation,

Jon (GZG)
