Working in an institution where the clients can and do communicate with us in all 22 languages of the EU, and having 5 main working languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian) I too see a lot of funny translations, and the word "delay" inappropriately used to translate the French "delai" to mean "length of time something takes". Although right now, "delay" is probably just about right. I sent my M8 to Solms for a repair of the main switch, it arrived there 11 days ago, and so far the status in their repair tracking system continues to show that the camera was accepted for repair on 8/12 with no further updates since then. I think they have all gone to K?ln for the Christmas market :-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog On Dec 18, 2009, at 10:51 AM, Douglas Sharp wrote: > That's what happens when they don't get a professional translator in: > > I quote: Leica will replace the camera or the sensor free of charge in our > very best delays. > > Do they mean longer than usual? > > Douglas > > H&ECummer wrote: >> Hi Luggers, >> I have been following this topic with interest on the L Camera Forum, >> biding my time over the purchase of an M9, and was pleased to see this >> message posted by Stefan Daniel this afternoon HK time: >> >> Dear Friends of the Leica M9, Thanks a lot for reporting the broken >> sensor cover glasses in the forum.
